Rotary’s Impact In Our Community
The Rotary Club of Dundas works hard to make a difference in the Dundas community.
Here are just a few of the important differences our Club has created among our local residences and neighbourhoods.
Our Club pledged $15,000 in 2021 to Margaret’s Place Hospice at the St. Joseph’s Villa & Foundation in Dundas.
Margaret’s Place provides community, connection, support and dignified end of life care for individuals and their families as they journey through the final stages of a life-limiting illness.
Our Club continues to support Margaret’s Place with events such as our Rotary Tour de Dundas Gran Fondo. In each of the past 3 years, we have donated $10,000 to Margaret’s Place, which helps provide essential care and support to residents and their families during their most challenging times.
Routes Youth Centre (Routes) provides a safer place for Dundas youth, aged 8-19, to gather and to provide programs in a caring social environment conducive to building healthy relationships.
In fulfilling its mission, Routes provides free drop-in services and informal programs focused on supporting youth mental health, healthy lifestyles, navigating teen years and personal growth.
Our Club continues to support Routes with events such as our Rotary Tour de Dundas Gran Fondo. In each of the past 3 years, we have donated $10,000 to Routes, which helps support the needs of the youth in our community.
