Oct 23rd, 2021. Members of RBN enjoyed a great day planting trees at Lowville Park. Over 400 saplings of native species were provided by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters in an effort to protect the shoreline of Bronte Creek and build the health of spawning areas for Atlantic Salmon. On top of our time, RBN was also happy to donate $500 to the OFAH for this important cause!

Club President Clinton Howell raises the End Polio Now flag at Burlington City Hall. World Polio Day is on Sunday October24th! In1985, Rotary International launched PolioPlus and in 1988 helped establish the Global Polio Eradication Initiative that today includes several organizations like the World Health Organization. These initiatives are working to immunize children across the globe against polio. Since 1988, polio cases have dropped by 99.9% and today the world is close to eradicating the disease.

COVID-19 has hit hard in Guatemala. The pandemic has exacerbated the shortage of food. PPE is very scarce.
Rotary Burlington North heard the call earlier this year. Funds were raised and a grant was secured. Over $11,000 was delivered to the Rotary Club in Chiquimula which allowed them to work with local government agencies and provide food and hygiene kits to those in need. Rotary - People of Action! (Oct 2020)
Burlington North has successfully secured a Rotary International grant to fund the construction of 175 new latrines in the village of Chiquimula, Guatemala.
