Welcome to the Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview
The Fraserview Rotary club is located in the heart of the lower mainland and services the area of Fraserview and surrounding areas. Our club consists of local community leaders from around greater Vancouver including a reach into Downtown Vancouver, leaders who take an active role in their communities, all while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. Fraserview is a smaller club that allows our leaders to grow and contribute in ways they might not in a larger club.
Join us for a meeting! Check the column on the left for meetings dates and times, and upcoming events.Members of our Rotary Club connect at weekly meetings and learn from business experts, political and civic leaders, and entrepreneurs, who help us stay informed on topics that are relevant to our community. Together, we make great things happen. We have a structure that focuses on action and positive results.

DG Darcy Long presents John Bathurst, Assistant District Governor and member of the Rotary Club of Vancouver
with the Rotarian of the Year Award at this year's District 5040 Conference.
Recently we had the opportunity to contribute to an international project being championed by the West Vancouver Sunrise Rotary club. The RC Bulindo WASH project is a water and sanitation global grant project in Uganda they are leading. The grant is matched by District 5040 at 100%, and by the Uganda district at 150%, so it would be a 3.5 times multiplied contribution at any level. Our Club, Vancouver Fraserview, has donated $610, ($500 U.S.) to help this project.
Total budget for the project is just over $68,000
Bulindo is a neighborhood in Kira Municipality, Kyaddondo County, Wakiso District, in the Central Region of Uganda.

From Darcy Long District Governor 2018-2019
March 30,2021
Dear Rotary Family,
It is with profound sadness I share with you the news of the passing of our beloved District Governor Dave Hamilton. Dave lost his battle with Prostate cancer last night (Mar 29), with Tanya by his side.
There has been such an outpouring of love from all of you, and I have no doubt Dave has felt it and it has helped to comfort him in his final days.
As that same love will help Tanya, and Dave’s family, in the days moving forward as we all grieve with them.
The Rotary Family has lost a true champion, humanitarian, and friend.
Due to the Covid Pandemic restrictions we are unable to meet in person to celebrate Dave at this time.
Rest assured as soon as there is an opportunity to gather, notice will go out for a celebration of life to be held at the Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen as per Dave’s request.
We will pass on more information as it becomes known to us.
Rest in Peace Dave. Thank you for sharing your dance moves with us.
You were an amazing friend and inspirational leader who will truly be missed.
With very heavy hearts,
Darcy and Doug

A simple basket of buns is something we take for granted on the lunch or dinner table, but there are many areas of the world where this is not true, and this simple basket of bread would be seen as a gift for families that are starving. A small amount of money like $2.50 also seems insignificant to us who are fortunate to live in Canada but again that $2.50 can do so much in starving communities, without the simple things is life like clean water, shelter and bread.
For this meeting we challenge the team to simply donate the value of the Buns they would have eaten at a real lunch. So for this month its an easy $2.50 donation that again will go to the Rotary Foundation.
Rotary World Help Sends much needed aid to Belize
Rotary clubs around Greater Vancouver and BC joined together to fund goods to be shipped to Belize that needed aid. Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview was happy to help and received this wonderful letter from Rotary World Help
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the eleven clubs who answered our call for help to sponsor a container of medical supplies to be sent to Belize. The container was loaded on Saturday and will be on its way to Belize soon. More photos can be found on our website.
We could not successfully continue the great work of assisting overseas communities without the commitment of our members so once again a big thank you to all of you and we look forward to a day, hopefully in the not to distant future when we can enjoy meeting each other in person at another container loading.
Yours in Rotary,
Bridget Jacob, LLB
Secretary, Rotary World Help
Rotary World Help looks to help countries and groups around the globe a need for medical support has been identified in Belize and a request for aid has been received.
While the goods for the container are all donated and managed by the RWH, the funds to ship the container are not, RWH is looking to see if a number of clubs could partner in providing funding for this Belize shipment, and requires about $8,000 Canadian to ship and send the container to Belize. Currently the Rotary Club of Port Moody is delivering on a Global Grant to assist with Literacy and education. This is going well and connection with the Rotary Club of Belize and the local community is very strong.
Our Club (Rotary Club of Fraserview) has stepped up and Donated $500 Canadian to help fund this container and move the medical supplies from the Warehouse to Belize where they are needed most.
