With the rising cost of sport, teams and clubs throughout Nova Scotia are required to raise funds just to remain operational. Sport Split 50/50 represents a unique fundraising opportunity that combines the sales from all participating teams and clubs into one monthly pot! The majority of the money raised goes straight to the community participants to put toward common expenses like registration, equipment, facility time, and travel. The other portion of the funds helps Sport Nova Scotia deliver grassroots programs like KidSport, Sport Fund, and Parasport.

The Sport Split 50/50 prize draw takes place on the first of each month, with an early bird prize draw on the 15th of each month.

February’s Early Bird Prize is four Halifax Mooseheads tickets, four t-shirts, and a $100 Subway gift card!

By purchasing your tickets through this link, you are supporting youth sports in Nova Scotia, and you are supporting the Dartmouth PigDogs Rugby Club.

Thank you for helping to support youth sports.

As the year winds down and we head into a fresh start, Dartmouth East Rotary is reminded of what matters most: community. Rotary is a group of neighbours who roll up their sleeves to help where help is needed we raise funds, volunteer time, and partner with local organizations to support projects that make Dartmouth stronger. It’s all rooted in one simple idea: Service Above Self.

If your New Year’s energy includes “I want to give back a bit more,” we’d love to welcome you. Whether you’re interested in joining Rotary, volunteering at an event, or partnering on a community initiative, there’s a place for you at the table.

🎁 Make giving back part of your 2026.
Send us a message here on Facebook to learn how to get involved and we’ll connect you with our next meeting or upcoming volunteer opportunity.

Thanks Shelter Nova Scotia! Yes friends, this is my club. I was recovering from a nasty travel cold and missed the photo.

⭐ Community Champion: Rotary Club of Dartmouth East ⭐

This month, we’re proud to recognize the Rotary Club of Dartmouth East as Shelter Nova Scotia’s Community Champions — a title well-earned through years of compassionate and consistent service.

This small but incredibly dedicated club of just 12 members has been volunteering with us for over seven years. Each month, they take turns preparing and serving home-cooked meals at Metro Turning Point, our emergency shelter for individuals who identify as male in Halifax. Their commitment to consistently showing up, month after month, has made a meaningful sense of community to the people we serve.

The Rotary Club has also made multiple generous donations of new men’s and women’s underwear — an often-overlooked item that is always in high demand in our shelters. What truly stood out to us was their approach: they asked what was needed most, showing a genuine desire to understand. Our needs are frequently changing, so that kind of thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated.

We told them underwear was a priority — and they delivered, not just once, but again and again. It’s a simple item that has a big impact on someone’s comfort and confidence, and it’s made a big difference.

Rotary member Linda Smardon shared:

“What we all have in common is a desire to be part of a community where people are not left behind. Community isn’t defined by borders—it’s defined by compassion.”

We’re incredibly grateful to the Rotary Club of Dartmouth East for their kindness, responsiveness, and unwavering support. You truly embody what it means to be a community champion.
