Hanging out with the kids at St Elizabeth never gets old, mainly because they're probably the only ones who think we’re cool, and catching up with my favourite pancake chefs always a thrill!!

Chris Morris, President of the Edmonton Elks, delivered a heartfelt and powerful presentation

Describing the Elks vision for the future, Chris shared how he and the Thompson Family envision a renewed entity built on the pillars of community service, engagement, and forward-thinking initiatives like the Elk dome.

The dome will be a recreational centre where inner city kids can drop by, be mentored and hang out with the players. An amazing initiative!!

Feeling truly inspired today. 💚

A vision rooted in community, connection, and giving back.The Elks Dome says it all—creating a safe place for inner‑city kids to be mentored, supported, and inspired by Elks players. This is about more than sport. It’s about hope and impact.

Today we celebrate International Women's Day, a day to recognise the extraordinary women who shape our communities, lead with courage, and inspire change in ways both big and small. 💜

Across the world, women are lifting others up, breaking barriers, nurturing families, leading organisations, and building a better future for the generations that follow. Their strength is not only found in grand achievements, but in everyday acts of kindness, resilience, leadership and service.

In Rotary, we see this spirit in action everywhere. From club presidents and community volunteers to global leaders and changemakers, women are helping drive Rotary’s mission of service above self. They are leading projects, empowering communities, championing education, improving health, and helping create lasting peace.

Today is a reminder that when women are supported, encouraged, and empowered, entire communities thrive.

So today we celebrate the leaders, the quiet achievers, the innovators, the caregivers, the trailblazers and the everyday heroes.

To the incredible women in Rotary and across our communities, I thank you for the difference you make every single day.

Happy International Women’s Day.
