WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO:
ROTARY – People of Action
Rotary is where neighbours, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.
We're made up of local business, professional, and civic leaders.
We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships and through that, we're able to get things done in our community.
It's up to YOU.............Join leaders in our community
Be sure to share this with all of your friends and associates and ask them to get in touch with our Club President Linda Porritt at 905-626-6386 or Club Vice President Hilda Finnigan at 905-431-4258.
You are invited to our next Rotary meeting. You may wish to become a Rotarian. Dinner is on us. Isn't it time to give back to your community?.
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful
occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of
business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Rotary Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behaviour that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities.
