The Rotary Club of Winnipeg West is Making a difference
RCWW Honours Local Recipient for "Service Above Self"
On Thursday, October 30th, the Rotary Club of Winnipeg West joined 4 other local Rotary Clubs to honour  individuals who have demonstrated significant dedication to “Service Above Self,” contributing their time, talent, and resources to making a positive difference in Winnipeg and beyond. 
 
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition is one of Rotary’s highest honours, named after the founder of Rotary International.
 
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg West was pleased to award Jim Steep, Executive Director of Agape Table with this honour.  Jim had a distinguished career in Manitoba’s golf community. In “retirement” he took on increasing leadership roles with Agape Table, one of our city’s most important resources for vulnerable and in need citizens. It was in this role that the Rotary Club of Winnipeg West began an ongoing relationship with Agape Table. 
 
The event took place at the Birchwood Inn and brought together Rotarians, community leaders, and guests to celebrate outstanding service and commitment to the community.

Building Bridges by Building Fences
In partnership with Westminster Housing Society the Rotary Club of Winnipeg West has just finished its fence renewal project on Spence Street.  The project included the demolition, debris removal, post setting and new fence construction; a big job by a dedicated crew of Winnipeg West volunteers. Using a combination of materials donated by Westminster Housing & purchased by RCWW, our club provided the brute force and fence building expertise to construct a new fence for this Spence Street residence.  Duplicating a design that fits in with the neighbourhood, the fencing crew worked over several days in September & early October to complete this project.
By all accounts, this was a fun project and makes a significant difference to the Spence Street neighbourhood.
 
RCWW Helping New Canadians
The Rotary Cub of Winnipeg West (RCWW) is proud to support new Canadian immigrant families through the great work of the Torchbearer Pathfinder and Adventurer Club (TPAC) comprised of youth aged 4 ½ to 17 yrs.  TPAC is helping new immigrant families with everyday items including food, groceries, hygiene items, books and school supplies for the children.
 
TPAC has a pool of at least 35 volunteers over the age of 18 to run the program and about 50 Pathfinders and Adventurers to help in any way that they can.  The Rotary Club of Winnipeg West has a long history with TPAC as they have helped RCWW’s annual Fundraiser, Chicken Fest for almost 20 years and RCWW is honoured to assist making the transition to Canadian life easier for the new immigrant family arrivals.
 
 
International Wilderness Adventure for Youth
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg West recently sponsored a local student to participate in the Rotary Club of Sioux Lookout’s “INTERNATIONAL WILDERNESS CANOE CAMP”.
 
Caleb Chapnick returned from this exciting adventure and spoke to our Club on August 21st of his adventures showing several slides and said that the group of 16 met in Sioux Lookout to begin a canoe trip of 160 kilometers. The group consisted of a number of international exchange students coming from, Mexico, Netherlands, Hungary, Germany, Taiwan, Spain and the Czech Republic.
 
The group met for 3 days training before they set out by bus to their launching point. The trip was on waterways traditionally used by the indigenous peoples of the area. They spent 8 to 9 hours a day paddling and portaging and there were many grueling but enjoyable days.
Another example of how the Rotary Club of Winnipeg West supports and encourages growth and leadership skills in our youth.
 
Making a Difference Around the World
 
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg West makes a difference in Winnipeg and around the world! Partnering with the Rotary Club of Chapala Sunrise (Chapala, Mexico) https://www.chapalarotary.org/  we joined with 30 other Rotary Clubs and were able to impact the lives of hundreds of villagers in communities around Lake Chapala.
 
The Completion of a Wetlands Waste Treatment Center, funding Kidney Disease Treatment and Transplants, Diabetes education, Scholarships, Dental care and other community service, are all examples of how Rotary makes a difference. Rotary Club of Winnipeg West is proudly part of the solution for improving the lives of hundreds of people in this area of Mexico.
