The most significant performance recognition the 1.4-million-member Rotary International can award to one of its 35,000 clubs is the Rotary Citation. Rotary Club of Ladner received an international Citation for 2023-24 by achieving its goals, including sustainable projects serving needs of our community and world, giving to top-rated The Rotary Foundation, and building awareness of Rotary in the community, thanks to members, local residents and the Delta Optimist.
Ladner Rotary also received international recognition for its donations in 2023-24 to the global campaign to End Polio Now, which Rotary initiated in 1986 and since joined by foundations, world health organizations and governments to rid the world of 99% of life time crippling and sometimes deadly disease. Thanks to Rotarians who have donated and in part to generous sponsors and local Delta residents.
Rotary District 5040 Governor Drew Antrobus made his annual visit to Rotary Club of Ladner on December 3, 2024. Drew’s wife, fellow Richmond Sunset Rotarian and this year’s District Learning Facilitator, Judy Smith, joined Drew. He spoke about this year's theme, The Magic of Rotary, and that it's the individual members who are the magicians who provide service where needed and make things happen, at home and in the world.
Colourful lights provide a little seasonal cheer to the patients, visitors, care professionals and staff at Delta Hospital, lit up for the Christmas season. Five Ladner Rotary members and two members of the Rotary-sponsored Interact Club at Delta Secondary School put up the lights and decor at the main entrance plus the Healing Garden in the hospital's courtyard -- opened in 2008 by the Delta Hospital Foundation, in partnership with the Rotary Clubs of Ladner and Tsawwassen -- and at the entrance to Mountain View Manor, home to over 90 residents. -- photos by Peter Roaf & Brian Coe

Last year there were over 86,000 visits by patients from all over the province to BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre on Oak Street in Vancouver: almost 6,000 for births; 4,000 for gynaecological surgical cases; 2,700 for obstetric surgical cases. BC Women's Health Foundation (BCWHF) supports the Hospital and the Women’s Health Research Institute towards making meaningful changes in women’s health in BC and beyond. Rotary Club of Ladner has donated $1,000 to this important cause for all of us in our community.
Those who have fallen in wars of the past century and so far in this one were honoured and remembered at the cenotaph in Ladner's Memorial Park on November 11, 2024 for Remembrance Day service following a parade of military and civilian groups, as were those who were wounded in battle, with physical and mental afflictions and those who have fallen at their own hand on returning home from war fronts overseas. Lest we forget.
Many thanks to local residents and business managers for participating in a Rotary Club of Ladner Shred A Thon on October 5th to support those in need with food and the high school club it sponsors at Delta Secondary with the $2,900 in net proceeds.
Exuberant rhymes and wild illustrations celebrate self-acceptance and self-love, this ode to self-esteem encourages kids to appreciate everything about themselves—inside and out. Messy hair? Beaver breath? So what! Here's a little girl who knows what really matters. "𝑰 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇!"by Karen Beaumont (Author), David Catrow (Illustrator) is the latest book featured on the Rotary Club of Ladner Story Walk, a 1 km stretch of the Millenium Trail in Ladner.
StoryWalk is a great place to take children and grandchildren for a walk this Fall and year round. It starts next to Neilson Grove Elementary School, 5500 Admiral Boulevard, off River Road, in the Ladner community of Delta, BC. Thank you to Delta Community Literacy Committee, who curate the books and are partners with the City of Delta and Rotary Club of Ladner to make this project a success. -- photos by Chris Offer
