![]() Much planning has been done under the leadership of Lisa and PDG Melisa Schrock and their Team on the District Conference, which is highlighted in Lisa’s Report. They have a great line-up of speakers and even though this will be another Zoom virtual event it is going to be a phenomenal and FREE event held over two evenings and a Saturday morning 16th, 18th and 20th March. PLEASE book this into your calendars now. Anne has a great message this month, which among other things recommends that clubs collaborate with neighbouring clubs and get out and do a service project. She mentions the Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup and Blood Donor Clinics as examples. Please start to plan for a waterway in your club’s vicinity that you can clean up and look to partner with another club, with a Rotaract or Interact Club, a Church, Conservation Authority, Parks Department, etc. There is much more information in the article by Lisa and myself. Feel free to reach out to either one of us for information, ideas, or suggestions. So pick a day(s) between Saturday, April 17th, and Saturday, April 24th to do your bit along with thousands of volunteers from both countries. |

![]() Trash, plastics, and other littered items plague our waterways. This trash poses a threat to terrestrial and aquatic life, often becomes microplastics and harmful toxins, and pollutes one of the most precious and limited natural resources. Shopping carts, tires, furniture, trash, foam cups, plastic containers, and aluminum cans contaminate our waterways and greenways. More than 22 million pounds (48.4 million kilograms) of trash and plastic pollution ends up in the Great Lakes each year. |
