Winnipeg was represented at our District Conference this past weekend in Neepawa, MB.
Although it was cool out, @sturgeonheightsroteract and Friends of Living Prairie Museum joined us last night as we collected debris @livingprairiemuseum. It's a place of beauty and incredible information about our prairies. Have you been?
Did you know Artbeat Studio's urban center is still open even with all the changes happening at Portage Place? It's a fabulous and safe place for those who struggle with mental illness to reconnect or find their creative side again. To learn more, check them out! https://artbeatstudio.ca/
Creating Lasting Impact: District 5550 Leadership Seminar
Rotarians across District 5550 came together for an inspiring and impactful Leadership Retreat and Learning Seminar, focused on preparing for the 2026/27 Rotary year.
The session emphasized strategic leadership, youth engagement, innovation, and executing meaningful projects aligned with Rotary’s Areas of Focus and Avenues of Service. It was a powerful opportunity to learn, connect, and strengthen our commitment to service.
Participants left energized and equipped with practical tools to build stronger clubs, deliver measurable impact, and expand Rotary’s reach in our communities.
Together, we continue to create lasting impact through Service Above Self.
RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly) students joined us last night to let us know not only about the amazing fun time they had but also what they learned and how they'll take that knowledge back to their schools to give back to the community. We can't wait to hear how your schools Interact clubs do in the years to come!
Being in the community isn't always about volunteering. Last night, we joined @stjames55centre for their Western themed fundraiser. We ate, danced, and learned a few different line dancing. A great night was had. Thanks @tyler.crichton.wpg for coming with us!

Congratulations, Angela Klassen, Paul Samyn, Patty Mainville, David Wiebe, Jim Thiessen, Colin Lount, Kevin Schultz, Mary Dempster and Jim Steep.

What a great night to have our Rotary club join Bear Clan Patrol tonight, along with some students from CMU. The weather was good, the company wonderful and you can never go wrong helping out in the community.
It's that time of year to help clean the Living Prairie Museum! It's amazing what is revealed once the snow is gone.

Thanks SJA55+ Centre for the great chat tonight. It's always nice to get together with organizations that do such excellent work in the community.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg Assiniboine is gearing up for its annual Green Space Golf Tournament, with sponsorship packages now available and golfer registration open. This key fundraiser supports local community initiatives, and everyone is encouraged to secure their spots and help make this event a success!
Last weekend, our club helped out with the Salvation Army Christmas Kettles. It was heart-warming to see so many people donate.
As the weather began to get colder, our club collected socks, scarves, toques, and mitts to fill the wagon we gifted to Bear Clan.
This wagon, packed with warmth and care, helps ensure these essential items reach those in need throughout our community.
It's that time of year when volunteering helps in a lot of ways. We were happy to lend a hand @harvestmanitoba
Backdated from July, but we’re excited to share that the Rotary Club was featured on CJNU Radio’s Tom Dercola Show.
The first 30 minutes of Hour 2 includes an engaging interview about Rotary and our club’s mission and impact.
Let’s continue to inspire and grow together!
Did you know there's a unique treasure in the community? Here at Living Prairie Museum, you learn and can discover the importance of grasslands, as there is less than 1% left in North America, and the ecosystems it helps. Our club has been a great supporter of the Living Prairie Museum for many years, so if you want to learn why it's free to take a walk through the 32 acres or learn more by going on a tour or checking out their hidden treasures inside.

Members of our Rotary Club enjoyed a fantastic evening at Assiniboia Downs!
It was a night filled with camaraderie, excitement, and community spirit as we cheered on the races together.
A great time was had by all!
We are thrilled to share some amazing moments from the second annual Rotary Green Spaces Golf Tournament held on August 13th, 2024, at the beautiful Kingswood Golf and Country Club in La Salle. The event was a tremendous success, bringing together passionate golfers, community supporters, and Rotary members for a day filled with fun, fellowship, and a shared commitment to our community.
Thanks to your participation and generous support, we are one step closer to enhancing the green spaces in west Winnipeg. The proceeds from this year’s tournament will go directly to support the Assiniboine Forest, Living Prairie Museum, and Grant’s Old Mill—three incredible beneficiaries that contribute to the beauty and sustainability of our community.
A special thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who contributed. Your involvement truly makes a difference!
