The Rotary Club of Cornwall
Projects
Our Club is active in supporting a variety of local and international causes. One of our Club’s ongoing priorities is youth leadership development. Each year the governing Board proposes expenditures in support of community needs, international causes and club operations, including:
- Pledge of $50,000 over 5 years, starting in 2010, for the Cornwall 3+1 Project.
- A Matching grant for a total value of $30,000, starting in 2010 along with the Rotary clubs of Iqaluit and Cataraqui-Kingston, for a water and sanitation project in Poza del Tigre, Honduras. This project was completed in August 2011.
- The Madagascar School Project benefitted last year from a District Simplified grant from the Rotary Foundation, assisted by funds from the club. This year we are working again on a District Simplified Grant for the school.
Over the years we have been involved directly, and with partners, in community enhancement projects such as:
- Drivers for Canadian Council for the Blind (CCB) every month
- Interact clubs sponsored at C.C.V.S. and St. Lawrence Intermediate School
- Bursaries to local schools, including the Doug Warner bursary of $1000.
- Youth Exchange, one long term candidate and unlimited short term candidates
- Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
- Rotary Adventure programs and Science Fair sponsorships
- Blood Donor clinic in December of each year
- Service Club Council
- The Cornwall Community Hospital
- The Boys and Girls Club of Cornwall
