December 7, 2025: Rotarians and friends filled the ByWard Market with song yesterday afternoon. Voices rose, people came and went, and the music carried through the square. After singing together, nearly thirty Rotarians and friends gathered for dinner to continue the fellowship.
November 23, 2025: A tropical escape in November — yes, please! Twenty-six Rotarians and friends gathered at Aquatopia Water Garden Conservatory in Carp for a warm and lively Social & Recreation event. Surrounded by lush greenery, koi ponds, and sunshine under the glass roof, we enjoyed lunch together and heard a fascinating history of the venue from our host Nick, who also shared his personal Rotary connection through his work at Rotel.

Great for those learning at home, those who want extra resources, those new to English or who have trouble learning, and to organizations who support literacy.
