Items of Note

Building Peace, One Conversation at a Time

This September about 130 children and youth participated in our Peace Literacy & Art and Youth Peace Leadership programs as we recognized the International Day of Peace. We explored what peace means in our everyday lives from kindness, inclusion and belonging to safety, connection and positive leadership. Thank you to all the teachers who welcomed us and created space for these important conversations, to St. Albert Cultivates the Arts for supporting our Peace Literacy & Art and Peace Leadership and Art programs, and to our Peace Action Group volunteers.

A Note from the President

Cathy Heron

member photo
As I begin my year as President of the Rotary Club of St. Albert, I am both honoured and excited to serve alongside such an extraordinary group of volunteers. Together with an exceptional Board and countless committed members, we are ready for another year of service and fellowship.
 
This Rotary year, our theme is Create Lasting Impact, and that theme will guide everything we do. My focus will be on strengthening the membership experience by creating meaningful opportunities for every member to connect, serve, and lead. Rotary is far more than attending weekly meetings—it is about belonging, purpose, friendship, and making a difference. We also hope to increase member engagement by ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute through both service and fundraising initiatives that support our community and our projects around the world.
 
The second priority for the year is environmental stewardship. As Rotary's newest Area of Focus, the environment is deeply connected to all of our work. Climate change disproportionately affects the world's most vulnerable people and impacts health, education, economic development, and peace. Throughout the year, our club will introduce practical initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint while encouraging members to consider how small actions can create meaningful, lasting change.
 
Rotary has had a profound impact on my own life, giving me purpose, friendships, and a sense of family. My hope is that every member experiences that same sense of belonging and fulfillment. Together, we have the opportunity to create lasting impact—not only in our world and our community, but within our club and in ourselves. I look forward to an exciting year of service, fellowship, and making a difference together.
