OUR VALUES The members of the Rotary Club of Kitchener Grand River support the principles and goals of Rotary International. In particular, we believe in directing most of our charitable dollars to projects involving youth and children. We believe in planting seeds, or investing in people, helping children and youth with physical, spiritual, educational and mental needs. We believe in supporting projects that are of a preventative or proactive nature and projects that will have a significant impact.

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is today, February 22. It was officially recognized by the Government of Canada in 2007 and provides an opportunity to educate the public on the realities of modern-day slavery, highlighting that it occurs, including right here in the Waterloo Region, and to spur action to fight it. It also serves as a call to pause, to honour victims, and to learn to recognize the signs of forced labour and sexual exploitation.

Waterloo Regional Police Service has partnered with the Not In My City campaign, an initiative focused on raising awareness and helping communities recognize and prevent human trafficking. Residents and organizations can learn more by taking a brief online course designed to support early recognition and action.

If you or someone you know needs support, the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline is available 24/7 at 1‑833‑900‑1010 or by chat at CanadianHumanTraffickingHotline.ca. Free, confidential support is offered in more than 200 languages. Resources and more information are available at EndTrafficking.ca and notinmycity.ca.

Happy World Rotary Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible impact Rotary has had on KidsAbility since 1957.

What started with a single building purchased by local Rotarians has grown into four main sites and travelling teams serving children, youth, and families across Waterloo Region and Wellington County. That growth, and the thousands of lives changed along the way, would not be possible without Rotary’s unwavering belief in accessible care and community support.

To all the Rotary clubs who continue to champion inclusion, possibility, and brighter futures for our clients - thank you. Your dedication strengthens our mission every day.
