On Nov 27, 2019, the RotaryHIP District committee had a great afternoon and evening in Brantford. We started off with a tour of the Woodland Cultural centre including a video tour of the Mohawk Institute Residential school. We met, over dinner, with members of the Rotary clubs of Brantford and Brantford Sunrise before attending the lecture by Senator Dr. Mary Jane McCallum, who talked about her experience at residential school in Manitoba from age 4-16 which left her totally adrift and homeless. She managed to work her way into dental school and spent many years serving northern Manitoba reserves and is presently in the Canadian Senate actively working on raising awareness and understanding of First Nation issues. If you or your club wants to learn more about RotaryHIP please contact Marjorie Dawson at
