Our Special Holiday Edition
Friday Meeting is Virtual Only
Due to Covid - 11:45 am
Our Holiday Planning Team has been hard at work creating a special event to celebrate the Holiday season. Whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or just a special time to be with family and friends, The Rotary Club of Toronto sends special wishes.
 
The Friday event will be filled with fun and celebrations with wonderful singing with our members and special guest Liberty Silver. Enjoy our video celebrating so many Holiday parties of the past including Children, Seniors and club members.
Our Remembrance Tree Event - Roundhouse Park
Ready for Ribbons!
Congratulations to our key team of Anny-Sandra Hamel and Jayson Phelps who have organized this fundraising event. The tree is up and yellow memory ribbons are going up as we speak. Stop by at RoundHouse Park and join in the festivities.
 
This holiday season we are helping you cherish your loved ones who aren’t present to celebrate with you.
When you make a donation to the Forget Me Not - Rotary Toronto Tree of Remembrance, we place a ribbon with a handwritten message or simply their name on the Tree of Remembrance on your behalf.
Donated funds will go to help support charitable organizations in the City of Toronto whose work improves the quality of life of seniors, youth and children, the marginalized, and the Indigenous Community.
