October was another great month for the Kingston Waterfront Rotary Club, highlighted by our special visit to the Canadian Museum of Healthcare in recognition of World Polio Day. Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thanks to those who generously donated in support of Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund.
Looking ahead to November, we have another interesting lineup of speakers and activities, beginning with a Club Assembly on November 2. Upcoming presentations include Canvas Food Art (November 9), Walking Reconciliation Chat (November 16), and Pop-Up Thrifting (November 23), followed by a Club Social & FAN Talk on November 30.
Of course, November also marks the launch of our 2026 Clothes For Kids Campaign, one of our club's most important annual initiatives. Our official launch is planned for Friday, November 6, at 11:00 a.m. at the Cataraqui Centre. I hope everyone will find a way to get involved, whether by volunteering, spreading the word, or connecting us with potential supporters. Thank you for your continued commitment to our club and community, and I look forward to working together to make this year's campaign another success!
We are planning to officially launch the campaign on Friday, November 6, at 11:00 a.m. at the Cataraqui Centre (945 Gardiners Road). The launch will take place either in front of the Customer Service kiosk or in the Commons area near Starbucks, Indigo and Marshalls

Scottish Curlers
Nov 01, 2026 5:00 PM - Nov 04, 2026 2:00 PM
Founded by Bob Mackintosh, Rotary Club of Hamilton (Scotland) & Aubrey Legge, a fellow Rotarian in Montreal. In November 1956, 12 Canadians & 4 Americans went to Scotland to curl, and the following year, 20 Scots returned. Starting in 1960, this Trans-Atlantic curling tour was moved to occur every two years. The Tour has provided International Rotary Fellowship and deepened connections amongst Rotarians ever since.
