It’s been 4 years since I the Rotary Club of Hudson Bay SK sent me to the Rotary Adventure in Human Rights program. 4 years later I still talk about what I experienced while on this “school trip”. Going into it I thought I would be sitting in conference rooms watching slideshows - but little did I know what I was about to experience.

Kenora Rotary Club participated in the 2024 Annual Teddy Bear Picnic on July 18th, and it was the most attended to date. Rotarians, Interactors, and Pinecrest staff made sure that the more than 250 participants were well cared for.
I grew up as an only child: closed and anti-social. My life is also fairly sheltered, so when I received an invitation to the Rotary Adventures in Human Rights—a week-long summer program in Winnipeg—I didn’t know what to expect from it. I have always found world history and social issues fascinating, but such things had previously been nothing more than personal interests.

In District 5550, Rotary Clubs sponsor diverse youth from the region to attend a week-long leadership development camp. Strong leaders are made – not born. Leadership skills and principles are learned – not inherited.
I was presented with the opportunity to experience the 2023 Rotary Adventures in Human Rights Program this past summer in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This week-long camp had a profound effect on me. I grew in the way I communicate with others when sharing my perspective and in the way I listen to understand rather than to respond.

Brandon Rotarians grilled and served up hotdogs at the Backpack Heroes event - filling school supplies and offering lunch to students. Visit the Brandon Rotary Club Facebook Page for more photos and to follow their impact in the community.
The ROTARY CLUB OF NEEPAWA sponsored local students to the Model United Nations in Winnipeg. The students work in pairs to represent an assigned country and promote their "country's" position, which is sometimes in conflict with their personal beliefs. This is a great opportunity and experience for the hundreds of students that participate, to develop public speaking and confidence.
