Peace Pole...coming soon to Perkins Park..!
The idea came from the club's wish to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations in 2020 and recognize Rotary’s focus on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Unfortunately, the installation has been delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This single pole will be one of over 250,000 that are located in almost every country of the world.
The pole will be inscribed: ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth’ in the 6 languages
of the United Nations and Ojibwa.
We look forward to you joining us at the Dedication Ceremony on ‘International Day of Peace" Wednesday, September 2, 2022, at Perkins Park, Southampton, Ontario, Canada.

Our SECOND community shredding event was a ripping success...!
77 vehicles dropped by and we processed 320 boxes of confidential and personal documents for recycling, and BTW we raised around $3000 towards the maintenance of Rotary Perkins Park and other Rotary community initiatives.
See you next year...date to be confirmed.
Quote: From Dave Lennon the event chair.
“We are delighted with the turnout on a wet and cold morning and we like to thank all our sponsors and patrons.
This event was designed to be a community service activity to raise environmental awareness during Earth Week and specifically:
- to provide an opportunity to recycle confidential documents and papers
- to provide education on the risk of identity theft
……and hopefully, raise some funds towards the maintenance of Rotary Perkins Park and other Rotary Projects.”
