Club General Statement

We are Rotarians, united in action and propelled forward by a common vision of the world. At Rotary, we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind. Our actions and our words make clear our respect for each other and those we serve. We value diversity and the unique contributions of each of our valued members. We strive to create a welcome and safe environment for all - one that is founded on collaboration and respect.

As per Rotary International’s statement: “Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.” We at the D 7040 Passport Club stand firmly by these words. The journey is a never-ending one, and every day is an opportunity to learn and grow.

We derive our strength from our connection through fellowship and our commitment to service, and it is through this that we will continue to effect lasting change in our communities and in the world.

Rotary's Involvement with COVID-19 Vaccinations

Project Completed

Posted by Ariane Carriere

"We are delighted to advise that the District Grant project we undertook with your help this year has been completed. It involved assisting the community of Talnique by providing a pump and some of the piping for a water system that would relieve community members of the burden of carrying water up a very steep path to their homes. Thank you so much to the Rotary Club of D7040 Passport for your help."

Two members of our club, Simmy Ahluwalia and Ariane Carriere visited the site where this project has now been completed. It was very necessary for the community. We are happy to get notification of the project completion during Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month.

Bringing Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Your Life through Reading

Those who know me well are aware that I am an avid reader and that I just love books. As well, I have made it my personal mission to put books in the hands of people: my children and stepchildren, husband, extended family, students, friends, even prisoners, and more! For me, reading is not just a hobby, it is a true passion that brings me a lot of joy – and I’d like to suggest some titles of interest to share that joy through a whole range of authors and themes.

To help me select the books you will read about here, I was inspired by the Indigo Reading Challenge, which offers “21 new ways to read in 2021.” (Indigo is Canada’s largest bookstore chain). Using this list to choose your next reads may help you discover new authors – or renew with forgotten ones! You can find the downloadable list of categories here: https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/inspired/books/indigo-2021-reading-challenge/ On Indigo’s website, you’ll also find suggestions for each category – or you can start with the titles below!
