The Latest News
Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene is a Rotary cause for action.
Posted on Mar 15, 2023
When people have access to clean water and sanitation, waterborne diseases decrease, children stay healthier and attend school more regularly, and mothers can spend less time carrying water and more time helping their families.
 
Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotary’s people of action mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that yield long-term change.
 
March is Water Sanitation and Hygiene month throughout the Rotary world.

Community Christmas Care
Posted on Dec 15, 2022
 
Thursday Dec 15th was Squamish Community Christmas Care hamper delivery. Rotarians were among the many volunteers who delivered hampers of food and toys to about 400 families in Squamish.
 
Reverend Karen Millard commented to the Squamish Chief.
"What I want to say is how much we appreciate the community for being so generous because all of what we give is costing more this year, This is a real community effort. Tons of volunteers, tons of donations. We can't do it without our community. We like to say one of our tag lines is community caring for community. And that's exactly what we experienced."

This is the second project that we have done at the Centre of Hope. The first was the establishment of a small chicken farm, again to provide training, and food and income for the girls.
