Look at what we funded in 2017-18 through our Community Services Committee and the International Services Committee.
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.
And in case you love this Penguin for Polio you can purchase or sponsor a penguin for $12 and provide 48 polio vaccinations for children in need!

If you have any Prairie roots, or if you would like to know what it was like going to school in the WWII years or if you have an interest in the 40's and 50's or if you would just enjoy an entertaining read.....this book is for you! We would like to introduce you to this just published book entitled “Flashbacks of a Prairie Kid” by Merv Letts ISBN 978-0-9867490-2-5
Our most recent club members were very creative for our 60th Anniversary event and presented our guests with this video:
Sinai Surgeon - The Adventures of an RCAF Medical Officer with the UNEF is the gripping tale of RCWO`s own Dr. Merv Letts during his time peacekeeping in the Sinai Peninsula during the 1966-67 lead up to the Six Days War.
This Fall, our club will present Dictionary4Life books to ten schools in both the public and Catholic school boards.
See what a difference one dictionary can make for life! RCWO's 60 second entry to the DGs challenge to tell the story of a club project. http://youtube/uCwcZQKQ6nE
