In order to increase our ability to plan strategically for our membership the District leadership Team decided to develop a survey. The purpose of the survey was to provide information concerning the requirements or needs of our members and how our organization could adapt. The survey was available for completion for approximately two weeks in early April. We are extremely pleased with the response rate and the comments submitted in the survey. This will provide excellent information for consideration during our planning sessions.
Be sure to attend our District conference in Shediac! One of the presentations will be the results of the survey!
THANK YOU ALL for taking the time to complete the survey, the District is committed to using the data in our future planning!
The winner of the conference registration is Susan Lockhart from the Florenceville Club. Congratulations Susan.
See you at the conference!

INTERACT STUDENTS IN NOVA SCOTIA ARE REBUILDING HOPE After the Long Lake Wildfire in West Dalhousie destroyed homes and changed lives forever, families were left with nothing but uncertainty. Instead of looking away, students from Lawrencetown Education Centre Interact Club chose to step up. Through the “Rebuilding Hope” project, these students are building tiny homes for wildfire victims, helping families move out of temporary shelters and back into safe, permanent spaces they can call home. Every donation directly funds materials like lumber, insulation, and windows — the essentials needed to rebuild lives.
This is more than a school project; it’s real students creating real change for their community when it matters most.
This is the final opportunity before May 15 to participate in the District Grants program and take advantage of Rotary International Foundation funds to increase the impact of your Rotary projects.
The Club Qualification and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) process is simple, and Ron Wilson is available to answer any questions: rotaryronw@gmail.com
Put your Foundation donations to work right here in our district — this year.
2025-26 District Awards Information and May 20th Submission Deadline
After the merger of Districts 7810 and 7820, PDG Jillian Gibson tasked the PDG Council with creating a new set of Awards from our new District 7815 to replace the variety of district awards and recognitions that had been used by our previous districts.
The PDG Council recommended that there be only two annual District Awards, to be presented at each District Conference in the Spring.
- Club of the Year
- Rotarian of the Year
The selection criteria for these annual awards are in the attachments to this email. Clubs may apply for Club of the Year recognition and/or may nominate one club member for consideration as Rotarian of the Year. The DG, on advice of committee of representatives from the PDG Council, will make the final decision of the successful Club and Rotarian.
Applications and nominations will be accepted until12 midnight Wednesday May 20th ADT by email to PDG Donald Sword at rotary7815dgsword@gmail.com
Please note that other awards and recognitions may be presented by RI, Rotary Clubs or the District Governor at other times in the year.
Thanks,
District Governor Marcel A. Gervais
