It is with profound sadness we announce the death of our dear friend Bob French.

He was the founding president of the Rotary Club of North Renfrew (Deep River) and his leadership and commitment has influenced our club's direction over the subsequent 20 years.
Concrete examples of his community work surround us, particularly in the two community gazebos, riverfront pathway, Lamure beach path, and Four Season's observatory that he was heavily involved in constructing, as a Rotarian and as a dedicated community resident.
His obituary link here gives more examples of his passion for humanity.
RIP, Bob.

Celebrate the life of Robert (Bob) French and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

Our club will collect surplus medical supplies from local pharmacies and forward them for shipment to Cuba. It's something we can do to help the dire situation there.

Our youth exchange student, Stella, enjoyed a Canadian family Christmas with her host family. She says it was quite different from her native Denmark!

We've started giving free illustrated dictionaries to local Grade 3 students! Each young student writes their name in the front so the books belong solely to them, for use anywhere and at any time. These St Anthony's students were very excited to receive theirs!

Our youth exchange student from Denmark, Stella, joined us when our district governor came to our last meeting. He was impressed!

Here's one of our enthusiastic members serving free birthday cake to everybody at our local Canada Day celebrations this year. Guess what colour the icing was!

Yep, Rotary is again presenting our annual Red and White parade for all the family. Starts (at 12 noon) and finishes at the campus, no marching around the streets this year. And of course free birthday cake for all, around 12:20pm. Here's the schedule for the day's events and activities. See you there!

Join us on Tuesday, July 1st at the Waterfront Campus, as we celebrate Canada Day.

In case of thunderstorms, selected Campus activities will be moved to the Deep River Arena

WHAT? The weather forecast is calling for rain this Saturday so we're switching our Community Cleanup to the next day, Sunday 27th. The 10am start time at the townhall parking lot remains the same, as does the free pizza at 12 noon! 😃
