Kenora Rotary Alumni

	The Rotary Club of Kenora Serving the community since March 20 1920

The Rotary story would not be complete without mention of the many individuals who have participated in a number of Rotary Programs referred to by Rotary as "Rotary Alumni" These programs includes any of the following programs:

Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards(RYLA), Rotary Peace Fellowships, Rotary Scholarships (funded by global grants or district grants), vocational training teams (members and leaders), Ambassadorial Scholarships, Grants for University Teachers, Group Study Exchange (members and leaders), and Rotary Volunteers.

If you are a Rotary Alumni, you can connect with this community, by registering for a My Rotary account or sign in to update your profile. For more information, follow this link: Alumni or contact Alumni Chair James Retson 807-468-3205, email jretson@shaw.ca .

Rotary Youth Leadership Award

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp is an all expense paid camp focusing on leadership, developmental topics of interest and recreational activities. Strong leaders are made, not born. Leadership skills and principles are learned not inherited. Rotary clubs around the world are dedicated to helping young people develop their leadership skills to the fullest. We believe that Camp will assist young persons realize their potential and to adapt their experiences within their life and their communities.

Adventures in Science and Technology

This adventure involves a four and one-half day exploration of advanced technology, research, development and applications. During their visit, students will be able to open the doors to an exciting array of some of Canada's finest corporations and research facilities, including the University of Saskatchewan, Innovation Place Research Park & the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron to name just a few. Of course, the students will also be treated to the best in Saskatchewan hospitality and have the opportunity to make new friends from across the western provinces.

Adventures in Citizenship

http://www.rotaryottawa.com/adventure.htm

The Adventure in Citizenship program is a program designed to develop their potential as leaders in their communities and in the Canadian society.

The program is an exceptional opportunity for the Adventurers to explore our identity, shared values, the implications of the freedoms we all enjoy, and our history of tolerance and the search for compromises to bridge our differences. The obligation to be ethical and fair in all relationships is considered. Also examined are the implications of the fact that most of us are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants to this land. While the program is focused on governmental processes and institutions at the federal level, it is founded on the premise that the most important attributes of citizenship are determined by Canadians individually and collectively. A guiding principle is that a broadly varied program is to be presented which provides insights into our national institutions not normally available to visitors to the National Capital.

Former participants:

2000 Rachael Wolfe, 2001 Melissa Young,2002 Shannon Hastman, 2003 Kara Hill 2005 Greg Cederwall

Others: Encounters with Canada
