Welland Rotary was invited to take part in the official opening of the Niagara Children’s Centre’s satellite location at the Welland YMCA. On March 29, ten Welland Rotarians attended the opening to make a 5-year commitment of $33,000 to equip the satellite location. Since 1964, Welland Rotary has contributed over $250,000 to support the Centre.

The Rotary Club of Welland has been directly connected to the Niagara Children’s Centre since 1964 when it became one of the charter members of the organization. Today, the Centre is a one-stop organization supporting nearly 6,000 children and youth to reach their communication, developmental, physical, and behavioural goals each year – Helping Children and Youth “be their best”.
