From the 2026 event: programme and acknowledgements
The following information is from the previous event, held April 30, 2026 at McMaster Innovation Park.
The 2026 event was planned to welcome over 250 - Grade 7 and 8 students from Cathy Wever School and St. Ann Catholic Elementary School, giving them the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths. Students had the opportunity to engage with professionals in trades, public services, and professional industries, including firefighters, EMS, electricians, HVAC specialists, lawyers, and more, to gain valuable insights into future career opportunities.
A special thank you to the Rotary Club of Hamilton's World of Choices Committee, including Past President Alex Moroz, Rotary President Adam Oldfield, and Al Luchin, who have dedicated their time and efforts to making this event a success for several years. Their commitment is just one example of the many ways Rotary supports the community and helps create meaningful opportunities for youth.
