Garden Upgrade at Rotary Manor
Posted on Jul 01, 2022
We were honoured to host our Rotary International President, Ms. Jennifer Jones, at one of our clubs biggest projects, Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. over the July 1st weekend. The visit to St. John’s marked the start of her Imagine Rotary Canadian Tour. Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. provides housing to low income seniors, single parents, and people with disabilities.
 
Members from our club welcomed other Rotarians and Rotaract members from across our beautiful district to Rotary Manor to plant a new flower bed in the back and do some weeding and clean up of the perennials in front of the building. The residents of Rotary Manor were delighted with the transformation.

We are proud to have played a role in the Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope becoming a reality
Posted on Nov 11, 2020
Rotarians of the Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest are proud to be people of action. A part of that action was our multi-year commitment in 2012 to help provide six figure seed funding to the Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope. This funding commitment was a catalyst for getting the project off the ground and it is wonderful to see the project now a reality. The Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope will provide housing for the homeless, food bank and feeding programs, health services, employment training  and other supports to those in need . Rotarians are people of action, helping others.
