On Wednesday, the District Governor had the absolute honour of presenting Hal with a District Leadership Pin for his incredible dedication, passion, and DRIVE in bringing Rotary’s EPIC Day of Service to life across Durham Region.
Words from our Governor...When the idea of EPIC Day was introduced, I knew it would take someone special to turn a dream into action — someone organized, patient, community-minded, and willing to rally people together. Hal took that idea and ran with it alllllllll the way!
Because of his leadership, Rotary clubs came together, communities were impacted, friendships were built, and service truly shined in Durham Region. Gardens were cleaned, shelters supported, BBQs shared, blood donor clinics promoted, smiles spread… and Rotary showed up in a BIG way.
Hal — thank you for your dedication, your heart for service, and for reminding us what happens when passionate people Unite for Good. This recognition is so well deserved!
Congratulations Hal!
