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 themselvesβinside and out. Messy hair? Beaver breath? So what! Here's a little girl who knows what really matters. "π° π³πππ π΄πππππ!"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
Last year there were over 86,000 visits by patients from all over the province to BC Womenβs 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 Womenβs Health Research Institute towards making meaningful changes in womenβs health in BC and beyond. Rotary Club of Ladner has donated $1,000 to this important cause for all of us in our community.
Charity Navigator rates 225,000 charities and ranks The Rotary Foundation among those at the highest level as it transforms Rotary members' gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
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.
Founded by the Rotary Club of Ladner in 1986 and now an independent community organization, the Delta Community Foundation serves as Delta's charity for charities. It provides funds for community initiatives, charities and non-profit organizations in mental health, education, arts, culture & heritage, children & youth, environment, food security, Indigenous initiatives, neighborhoods, seniors and more.

Common issues they bring to counselling sessions include depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic pain, grief and loss, sexual dysfunction, obsessive compulsive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder.
