MEMBERSHIP SURVEY RESULTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!

Earlier this year, we invited members to share their thoughts, needs, and perspectives through our Membership Survey. We were very pleased with the response and grateful to everyone who took the time to participate.

The feedback provides valuable insight as we look ahead and consider how we can continue to strengthen our clubs and better serve our members.

Why this is a powerful project... Females in the correctional system do not get the same levels of programming to turn their lives around as men do.

• Women attend a cathartic writing program to release and heal traumatic experiences in their lives. 
• They improve their literacy skills, gain confidence, and have better relationships with their families

Friendship Continues: Return Exchange from the Netherlands September 30 to October 9

This fall, Rotary friendship will come full circle as we welcome our exchange partners from the Netherlands for their return visit from September 30 to October 9. Their visit follows our district team’s wonderful exchange to the Netherlands in May, where we experienced the warmth, generosity, and international fellowship that make Rotary exchanges so memorable.

The visiting team will travel through the Valley, Charlottetown, Moncton, and Halifax Regional Municipality, experiencing local communities, culture, and Rotary fellowship along the way. The story will highlight the personal connections and lasting friendships created through Rotary Friendship Exchanges, while showcasing the spirit of hospitality and international fellowship that makes these exchanges so meaningful...

The new Rotary year is off to a busy start for youth programs across District North Atlantic!

From international exchanges and the return of our 2025–26 exchange students to opportunities through Interact and Honouring Indigenous Peoples, there are plenty of ways for Rotary clubs to support, encourage and connect with the next generation of leaders. Our Youth Exchange students are beginning their journeys around the world, international students are settling into their new Canadian communities, and returning exchange students are reflecting on experiences that will continue to shape their lives. At the same time, new opportunities are opening for young people to learn, grow and become leaders in their communities.

Read on to see what’s happening, how clubs can get involved, and which opportunities are coming up this fall.
