ROTARY'S VISION:
TOGETHER WE SEE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE UNITE AND TAKE ACTION TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE
TOGETHER WE SEE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE UNITE AND TAKE ACTION TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE
ACROSS THE GLOBE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN OURSELVES.
Here at home, in Ladner, Delta, our province of British Columbia, and worldwide, Rotary provides service to others, promotes integrity, and advances world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Our global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, and leaders volunteer their skills and resources not only to solve common issues and address community needs, but solve some of the world’s most complex and pressing problems. That takes real commitment and vision. Rotary members believe that we share a responsibility to take action to improve our communities.
Join us, so that we can make an even bigger impact – together. No challenge is too big for us. Become part of creating lasting change in our community and throughout the world in Promoting Peace, Saving Mothers & Children, Fighting Disease, Supporting Education, Supporting the Environment, Providing Clean Water and Growing Local Economies. In all these priority causes we are peacebuilders. We are People of Action.
We serve our community on the shared, traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the sc̓əwaθən (Tsawwassen), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and other Coast Salish Peoples with our appreciation.

Delta Hospital's main entrance, Healing Garden, Mountainview Manor extended care and the Irene Thomas Hospice entrance are all lit up for the festive season thanks to a team of eight Rotary Club of Ladner members. Patients in the 58 acute care beds, outpatients, 92 long term care residents, their visitors and the more than 110 hospital and medical staff at Delta Hospital may find some joy from the lights at a time, for many, who may be suffering from some kind of health challenge.
