Every Child Matters – Honouring Indigenous People As we mourn the more than 1,000 children, as we wear orange, as we add an Every Child Matters banner to our Facebook page many of us are asking, how do I learn more? how do I understand? how do I help make a real difference? Rotarians in our area have started down this path. Our District Governor wrote. “This …will be a journey though some darks places on the way to enlightenment and unity.”  Our District has joined HIP – Honouring Indigenous People, a Canada wide group of Rotarians and non-Rotarians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous who’s mission is to catalyze societal change by inspiring Indigenous & Non-Indigenous relationship building, strengthening community well-being and advancing the next generation of leaders. You don’t need to be a Rotarian or Indigenous to be a part of this. Click here to check out their website, sign up for their newsletter and to follow them on Facebook To read District Governor David Elliott's email to all area Rotarians and to watch last week's presentation on Honouring Indigenous People Click on Read More |

Winterama  Winterama is a FUN AND FUNDRAISING PROJECT promoted by the Rotary Clubs of Southampton, & Tara held in February each year for the benefit of local schools and Youth Programs in our area.This year we are asking that schools participate in the Rotary Winterama Olympics Challenge during the Winter Olympics in February 2022. Individual participants and students solicit cash pledges in support of their involvement in ice-skating, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, curling, and/or other winter activities at their schools. ROTARY WINTERAMA raises funds for youth in GREY-BRUCE. All funds stay local and new this year, 100% of the money raised goes to the participating schools or groups for their specific projects and programs including breakfast programs. Nearly $550,000 has been raised and distributed back to local schools and the community in the past 19 years. To support an individual student, contact that student for their personal Winterama fundraising page or CLICK HERE For more information on how Winterama works CLICK HERE 2022 RESULTS Winterama pays back over $12,000 at award ceremonies at local schools around the area. Local Elementary School Students Get Active With the Rotary Winterama Olympics Challenge organised by Southampton Rotary Club and Tara Rotary Club. Local elementary school students earned important fundraising dollars for their schools, and embraced winter activities this past February through the 20th Annual Rotary Winterama campaign. Students brought in a collective total of over $12,000 directly to their schools, to help fund breakfast programs and important school projects. Local corporations, businesses, and individual supporters generously stepped up as well, and donated over $12,000 to the campaign, allowing the participating Rotary Clubs to defray the costs of Winterama, and broaden their services to support youth programs in our area. This year’s Winterama offered a Winter Olympics Challenge to students, where students accumulated kilometres doing fun winter activities during the period of the 2022 Winter Olympics. High-achieving students in local schools earned bronze, silver, and gold medals if they met certain kilometre benchmarks. Top classes in each school were also awarded a recess activity bucket, hand-delivered by Bearama, to help them keep active at recesses. Participating students in local schools logged a total of over 21, 000 kilometres during the campaign… more than halfway around the world! See some of the smiling faces below, skating with Winterama mascot “Bearama", and later wearing their medals. A total of 233 students skated, skied, sledded, hiked, and snowshoed their way to their Rotary Olympic Challenge medals, and many more accumulated kilometres trying their best. The top four pledge-earning students in Winterama also won prizes for their hard work fundraising for their schools. In first place was Charlie Schaab, EPESCS, who raised $1200. Second place prizes winners were Serenity and Andre Saunders, G.C. Huston, who each raised $795. Third place went to Sam Stephenson, EPESCS, who raised $720 for his school. Amabel Sauble deserves a special mention, despite being the smallest school population-wise (162). They accumulated a total of 6603 kms, or 41 kms per student!!! A big THANK YOU to all 2022 Winterama participants, sponsors and supporters!! Looking forward to a bigger and better event in 2023....watch this space. |

Building an Accessible Playground This joint $350,000 project with the Town of Saugeen Shores was completed in Summer 2010Our club with our friends from the Rotary Club of Port Elgin were the naming donors for the playground project by each contributing $25,000. Club members from Southampton were also key members of the Fundraising Committee that raised the full $350,000 over a 5 year period. At the time, this was the first fully accessible playground of its type in Bruce County and provides integrated play opportunities for young and old of all capabilities. A sensory garden is included in the design and this was named the Bruce Power Sensory Gardens after the company's lead donation to the project. |

The Club built the Rotary Scout and Guide Hall at 39 Grey Street, South
In 1999 the Club bought the lot on Perkins Blvd (corner of McNabb and Highway 21) from the Perkins family for $30,000 and then in turn donated back to the town which made a double lot and formally created Perkins Park.
