Last week's recap
Here is a recap of our August 19th meeting:
 
At last week's meeting, Bill Hagborg, former District Governor for District 7010, was our guest speaker.
Bill joined the Rotary Club of North Bay in 2007 and has a long history of being involved in all avenues of service. Bill provided Rotarians with an overview of Water First, whose mission is to address local water challenges in Indigenous communities through education, training and meaningful collaboration.
In Canada 13.5% and in Ontario 40% of First Nations communities are under a boil water advisory,
Water First, partners with Indigenous communities in Canada to address critical drinking water challenges. Rotary is partnering with Water First to help amplify their impact and their advancement of this important cause, funding internship programs enabling indigenous communities to manage and sustain their own community treatment plants. 
 
 
 
A Message from Bill Hagborg:
 
Thanks again for inviting me to speak to the club this morning about our District Indigenous Project - Water First.
 
As promised I have attached a copy of the presentation. Members can also find out more about the project and the Water First organization on our District’s Indigenous Focus page (District website).

District Conference 2021 Timmins Tidbit
 
image
The conference is coming soon on September 10th to 12th, in Timmins at the Senator Hotel.
 
Details can be found on the Conference website.   Register now!
 
Time is running out on the proposed Bus transport to the Timmins Conference. The deadline for making your reservation has been extended to Monday August 30.  Currently we have 12 persons who have reserved their seat.  The break even point for a coach bus is 27 passengers.
 
Consideration is currently being given to alternative methods of transportation including reducing the bus size.  A smaller “Activity” bus could be offered but it would still require 16 passengers to break even at the $150 fare.
 
For information on the differences between a coach bus and an activity bus, please click on the link below:
 
Please advise if you intend to get on board. Do not hesitate to make your reservation by contacting Hammond Transportation/Muskoka Travel Service at 705-645-2583 or by email at sherri@muskokatravelservice.ca.  
 
Should we fail to receive sufficient interest by Monday August 30, the bus will be cancelled and refunds provided to all paying passengers. We suggest to those who do want to take the bus that you encourage your friends to join you on the bus.  It should be a fun trip. 
 
Once cancelled, Rotarians will be encouraged to consider car pooling to the conference. 
 
Details of the Bus for Thursday September 9 returning Sunday September 12 are as follows:
  • Depart Orillia on Thursday Morning (request further details from Muskoka Travel when making reservation)
  • Other stops along the Hwy 11 corridor can be made if necessary and depending on location of passengers
  • Depart Bracebridge Walmart at 7:45 AM
  • Arrival in Timmins before 5:00pm in order for those interested to attend the golf dinner (must make advance reservation for dinner on the District Conference Website).
The theme for our Saturday night gala is Food, Fun and Fellowship with a dress code of Timmins Saturday night. So, come dressed as you wish.
 
Thank you!
