This weekend marks the opening of the new Superman This weekend marks the opening of the new Superman movie another epic comeback for our favourite alien as he saves Metropolis (again) and probably the whole world while he’s at it.

But let’s be honest, Hamilton has its own brand of heroes. They might not wear capes (though let’s be real—we'd look fantastic in them). If we did, this is exactly what they’d look like, soaring over the city practising “Service Above Self.”

From supporting youth programs to building literacy, tackling local projects, and even partnering on international aid we're basically the Justice League, just with more committee meetings, fewer explosions, and much better coffee.

So next time you see that Rotary logo on someone’s chest, lapel, or ball cap, give them a nod. These are the real heroes working quietly behind the scenes to make our community—and the world—a better place.

Want to join the Rotary Justice League? Visit us at rotaryclubhamilton.ca. We’re looking for a few more heroes in our community.

Building Community Since 1913 — and Dreaming Bol Building Community Since 1913 — and Dreaming Boldly Into the Future

On June 25, 2025, we marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Rotary Club of Hamilton with something deeply meaningful.

This stunning, custom-made dreamcatcher — titled “The Dream of Service” — was handcrafted by my incredible wife, Michelle Oldfield. As an Indigenous Mohawk woman, Michelle wove more than just thread and beads into this design. She wove connection. Culture. Purpose. And hope.

The six golden spokes reflect the Rotary wheel — the heart of our movement. The 24 surrounding beads represent the hours in a day, a symbol that Rotary’s spirit of service never sleeps. The blue and yellow honour both Rotary and Indigenous values: clarity, hope, and unity.

This dreamcatcher is more than a gift. It’s a blessing — a protector of vision, a guide for leadership, and a promise that our shared dream of community, peace, and “service above self” lives on in every act we do.

As we step into 2025–2026, this is just one piece of the future we’re building — together.

Thank you, Michelle, for your love and for reminding us that service, when grounded in heritage and heart, is the most powerful dream of all.
The most powerful tool we can give our children is The most powerful tool we can give our children is literacy. 📚

At the Rotary Club of Hamilton, we believe that community growth starts with empowered, educated youth. That’s why we’ve hosted the Summer Literacy Camp for over 20 years—completely free of charge—so that all children, regardless of background, can access the joy of learning.

🧠 Reading is more than letters and sounds. It’s a path to leadership, creativity, and lifelong success. Help us keep this legacy strong.

🧡📖 Did you know? Reconciliation is about act 🧡📖 Did you know? Reconciliation is about action, not just words. The Rotary Club of Hamilton is committed to honouring Indigenous history and working toward Truth and Reconciliation through education, partnerships, and cultural awareness initiatives. 

We recognize that understanding the past is the first step in building a more inclusive future, which is why we support programs that foster learning, respect, and meaningful conversations. Every year, we acknowledge National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a moment to reflect, listen, and commit to positive change. 

Together, we can build bridges, celebrate Indigenous culture, and create a more united and equitable society.
