The District 5370 Peace Committee has given funds to install a Peace Pole at Fort Edmonton Park. This is a wonderful celebration of the relationship between Rotary and Fort Edmonton Park. It began in 1966 when Rotary Club of Edmonton Downtown began working with the city to create a replica of the Fort, and in1974 the Park opened in its doors. A Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four or six sides. There are estimated over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace. Please join us for this special event. It will take place on May 2, 2024 at 4:00 pm in the plaza at the entrance to the park. Cheers, Annie

We have a shift booked at the Food Bank warehouse. We will be sorting food or building hampers. In 2022, almost 6 million kilograms of food was donated to or gleaned by Edmonton's Food Bank. Sorters are responsible for going through all non-perishable donations and checking the condition of the packaging and the best before dates. Once the food is checked, it is organized and stored appropriately to be brought to the hamper line or agency row. Hamper Makers complete the food hampers by adding additional perishable and non-perishable food to the “Starter Kit”. At this time, special attention is paid to dietary requests as well requests for special items such as toiletries or dish soap based on availability. The volume of hampers must be recorded and hampers must be accurately labelled for delivery to the client and/or food depot. Date: Tuesday May 21

Wheels of Hope Program
May 27, 2024
Our guest speaker, Mark Kahan, became aware of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope volunteer driver program through his brother-in-law and Rotary Club member, Fred Kraft, who has been a volunteer driver with the program for over 15 years. Mark became a volunteer driver himself in 2014 and shortly thereafter, joined the staff as a volunteer coordinator. As a childhood cancer survivor, Mark is incredibly passionate about the Wheels of Hope program, that helps people who may not have any other way to get to and from their life saving treatment. Mark will tell the Club more about the program and how Rotarians can contribute to its work. Fred may also be willing to speak a little about the work he has done with the program over the years. |

Our club is registered for a Group Planting Program with Root for Trees on June 22 from 1-3 PM at Cameron Heights Storm Water Pond.
Registered planting programs allow for a maximum group size of 60 people so bring a friend, or better still your grandkids!!
We plant outdoors, so please dress for the weather! Working in a natural area, it is possible that you may encounter thistles, sticks, or garbage. Consider dressing in layers, long pants, and wearing a hat. You and your volunteers must wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes, such as runners. Volunteers may not participate in planting activities if they wear inappropriate footwear, such as sandals, flip-flops, or high heel shoes.
Remember to bring a water bottle and snacks, as planting trees can be a very physical activity! We suggest you bring sunscreen, bug spray, and anything else that will make your planting program an enjoyable experience. Root for Trees will supply the shovels, gloves, and plants.
Date: Saturday June 22
Time: 1:00 to 3:00 pm Address: 3169 Cameron Heights Way
Parking: Residential street parking available on Cameron Heights Way NW. I have attached a map. |
