Rotary Club of Edmonton West

Our intrepid Rotary Club of Edmonton West volunteers braved the hordes of mosquitoes to clean up our stretch of Highway 16! 🦟💪

The good news? There wasn't much litter to collect, and that's something to celebrate. A big thank you to everyone who is disposing of their trash responsibly and helping keep our highways and communities clean.

Every small act makes a difference. Together, we're proud to do our part in keeping Alberta beautiful. 💙🌎

We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the Rotary Club of Edmonton West! This week, we were thrilled to receive a cheque of $5,000 from Lorne Proctor representing the Club, along with two boxes of essential personal hygiene items for the youth in our care. Your support makes a real difference!

Thank you for helping us create a positive impact in our community! 💙

What an amazing Canada Day! 🇨🇦💙

Today marked a truly special milestone as Edmonton was officially recognized as an International City of Peace, and unveil the Peace Pole. We were also honoured to witness the proclamation declaring July 1 as Peace Day—a meaningful reminder of our shared commitment to building stronger, more compassionate communities.

The celebrations continued with a BBQ at Fort Edmonton Park, where members of Rotary International and the community came together to celebrate service, friendship, and the positive impact Rotary has in our city and around the world.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a memorable day. Here's to continuing to promote peace through service, one project and one community at a time.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

Members of the Rotary Club of Edmonton West spent Saturday volunteering at Chrysalis, helping brighten up the hallway with a fresh coat of paint. It was wonderful to see our volunteers come together to give the space a clean, welcoming update for the people Chrysalis supports every day.

Chrysalis is a non-profit organization that supports individuals with disabilities by providing employment, community connection, and life skills opportunities. We are proud to support the important work they do in our community.

A big thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and painting skills to make a difference! 🎨👏

❤️🍽️ Giving back, one meal at a time

A group of Edmonton West Rotarians had the privilege of volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, preparing and serving dinner for families staying at the Edmonton House.

It was an afternoon filled with teamwork and laughter, as we prepared the meal. For families going through challenging times, a warm, home-cooked meal can mean so much—and we were honoured to be part of that comfort.

A special thank you to Fred for the delicious recipe, that helped make the meal extra special! 👨‍🍳

Service Above Self in action. 💛
