Led by the Rotaract Club of South Ottawa, the Rotary Clubs of Ottawa-Gatineau held an End Polio event on Parliament Hill on Saturday October 20th.
The intent of the event was to help raise public and political awareness of Rotary's long-term international efforts and success in eradicating polio worldwide, and the role played in this campaign by the Rotary Clubs of Ottawa-Gatineau.
