Homes First Foundation
Nov. 03, 2016
There are over 5,000 people in Toronto without a safe stable place to live. Hundreds live “rough” – in ravines, stairwells or on the street. Hundreds more suffer with mental illness and addictions. This forgotten slice of our population, people who have been street-involved for several years and who have nowhere else to go, is where Homes First comes in. They were the first and remain one of the largest providers of homes for people with the fewest options in Toronto. Shirlene Courtis is the executive director of the Homes First Foundation. |

Jeff will be presenting a case that could set a precedence for human rights.
Between 2007 and 2009 a Canadian resource company employed violent thugs to murder and rape indigenous civilians in Guatemala in an effort to remove them from lands appropriated for mining.

Rotary International Convention - Toronto 2018
Feb. 02, 2017
Excitement is building among Rotarians in District 70780 the host district for the 2018 Rotary International Convention. People are asking how they can help. Clubs are asking if they can participate in Home Hosting. Folks are coming up with all types of entertainment and speaker suggestions. Others want to register and get their hotel accommodations lined up. Toronto 2018 will indeed need a lot of support both with Rotarians registering and attending the convention and also by becoming Ambassadors (Volunteers) at the convention itself. Right now the Toronto 2018 Host Organizing Committee (HOC) work is still somewhat in the background as we let the Atlanta 2017 Convention build to be a great Rotary International Convention. Highly visible Toronto 2018 elements such as Registration, Hotels, Announcing Speakers, Entertainment and Events will only go live in Atlanta this coming June. We are putting together the last pieces for our Volunteer Registry system which will allow any and all of the Rotarians in the District to volunteer to help out the Toronto 2018 Convention. Whether it be working on a committee in your area of expertise, acting as an Ambassador welcoming folks to Toronto or being an HOC Venue Ambassador, you will be needed. Sub-committees such as Home Hosting, House of Friendship, HOC Events and Entertainment are starting up and look forward to engaging more Rotarians in the District as they build their plans for 2018. For those who are asking “What can I do now?” The best thing that you could do is register for Atlanta 2017, attend and talk up Toronto 2018 where attendees will find INSPIRATION AROUND EVERY CORNER. |
