Rotary Club of Hamilton is the original Rotary club since 1913.

🧡📖 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.

Local Roots, Global Reach It was an honour to conn Local Roots, Global Reach It was an honour to connect with my associate and fellow Rotarian, Badar, as we stood alongside business leaders and heard directly from the Premier of Ontario about the path forward for our province’s economic growth and development.

Rotary has always been about service above self — but let’s not forget, it’s also about connection. Whether it’s Hamilton, Brampton, or halfway around the world, when Rotarians come together, we don’t just talk about community building — we actually build it (with fewer PowerPoint slides and more action).

One of the greatest parts of being a Rotarian is the ability to connect beyond your own city limits. It’s not just about fundraising and local events — it’s about collaborating with like-minded individuals across Ontario and globally to make meaningful, measurable change.

From clean water projects to career days, from literacy to local partnerships, Rotary gives us a platform to lead with purpose — and occasionally, wear a name tag without it being awkward.

Grateful for the chance to represent the Rotary Club of Hamilton as the incoming president. The road ahead is exciting — and paved with great conversations, shared ideas, and hopefully… less duct tape and more duct cleaning. 😉

The Last One—What a Finish! 🙌 Our Rotary @ N The Last One—What a Finish! 🙌

Our Rotary @ Noon season closed on a high note with a phenomenal final guest speaker: Rudi Wallace, CEO of the Hamilton Community Foundation.

Rudi brought bold ideas, a deep understanding of community investment, and a powerful vision for Hamilton’s future. His message was the perfect way to cap off a year of leadership, learning, and local impact.

To every Rotarian, guest, partner, and speaker who made the 2024–25 Rotary year meaningful—thank you. Your time, insight, and service continue to shape a stronger, more connected Hamilton.

🌟 Rotary @ Noon will return… but the spirit of service never pauses.

Matt shared an inspiring vision for the future of our city, and we appreciated his candid insight, community focus, and willingness to answer some tough questions—plus, he managed to keep a room full of Rotarians very attentive before dessert, which is no small feat.

Just another great example of the kind of high-calibre speakers you can expect at Rotary. If you're not coming out to these meetings... you're missing out on the good stuff.
