Throughout the weekend, District 6330 clubs will showcase their innovative service projects and fundraising successes, both locally and internationally.

– Additionally, award-winning artist Loreena McKennitt, in conversation with Judy Maddren, will discuss how music and community advocacy unites to create positive change and foster stronger, more connected communities.

Special ceremonies are planned to celebrate Rotary’s commitment to peace with the unveiling of Rotary peace poles, symbols of our dedication to fostering harmony in our communities.
Each day of the conference will end with entertainment that delights, including live music of the Downie Street Collective and an enchanting performance of hypnotist Dale K.
