Rotary Club of Halifax Harbour

📚 Celebrating Basic Education and Literacy Month! ✏️ We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Joseph Howe Elementary School in North End Halifax! This week, Rotary Halifax Harbour, together with Irving Shipbuilding , contributed a total of $6,500 to provide essential school supplies to ALL 400 students for the entire year. 🎒✂️📓 Irving Shipbuilding generously contributed $5,000, and we added $1,500 to make this possible. This marks our second year of supporting these amazing kids, from Primary to Grade 5, ensuring they have what they need to succeed. In the photo, Michael MacDonald, the principal of Joseph Howe Elementary School, accepts the cheque from Dav Kowlessar, our club president. This initiative is part of our PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) program, where businesses and organizations come together to provide financial support and volunteers to our local schools. We are proud to be a part of this community effort, making a difference one student at a time! Thank you to Irving Shipbuilding and everyone involved for helping us create a brighter future for our youth! 🌟 #RotaryHalifaxHarbour #ServiceAboveSelf #EducationForAll #CommunitySupport #RotaryInternational #PALS #BackToSchool #IrvingShipyard

With profound sadness, we share the passing of Tom O'Handley, a cherished former member of Rotary Halifax Harbour.

All who knew him felt his kindness and generosity, and he left a lasting impact through his commitment to service and his infectious joy for life. https://lnkd.in/djT9fyJa

🚀 Rester Fidèles à Notre Mission tout en Embrassant l’Avenir 🌍 Dans un monde en perpétuelle transformation, où le service global et l'impact communautaire prennent des formes nouvelles, il est crucial de se rappeler ce qui ne change pas : notre mission de service, notre engagement à faire une différence, et notre désir de créer un changement durable. Si notre vision et nos valeurs restent solides, notre façon de les vivre évolue. Adopter une approche flexible, qu'il s'agisse de la structure de nos réunions, de la réalisation de nos projets, ou de notre engagement auprès de la communauté, est la clé pour continuer à laisser une empreinte positive et durable.
