We believe Rotary is at its best when it leads by doing. Since our club's inception in 1954 here are a few of the things we have done:

Locally:

• In cooperation with four other clubs we built and equipped a school for mentally challenged, the first of its kind in Toronto.
• We provided the Salvation Army with a specially equipped van for the physically challenged.
• We built a pavilion and library for "Trails," a camp and life skills training centre for inner city youth.
• In an area of the city densely populated by immigrants from developing countries, we provided a youth centre, a training centre for trades and recreation facilities for the children of these newcomers to Canada.
• We support Canadian aboriginal students in the pursuits of their medical studies and related health subjects.
• We are working with Bell Mobility, Motorola, York University, and the Toronto District School Board to provide 250 two way pagers to profoundly deaf students and their parents. Because theses kids only know ASL (American Sign Language) and not English they are cut off from the world and are delayed from 4 to 8 years in English and social skills. We hope this study will show the benefit of deaf students being able to talk to each other and their parents in English

Internationally:

• Project "Workshop". We equipped and provided initial training in various trades to young people in Jamaica.
• Project School
• In Bolivia in a cooperation between the Ontario Police and our club we fully equipped a school.
• In Haiti we provided all the furnishing and equipment for a school established by an order of nuns.
• Project "Wahoo". We bought two fishing boats and arranged for the training of young people in the trade of fishing on the island of St.Kitts, thus reducing the need to import fish from other islands.
• We provided a mobile eye clinic for Katmandu, Nepal, a saw mill in Dominica after its devastating hurricane and a burns ward in Bangalore.
• On the initiative of one of our South African exchange students, we provided and fully equipped a mobile school library in Soweto, S.A.
• The Dr. Bob McClure Foundation established in memory of our former member, who was a medical missionary in China, India etc. With the income from the foundation and following the wishes of Bob McClure we provide annual scholarships to students in third world countries for training in health subjects.

Note: Five members of our club have served as district governors, and one member served on the Board of Rotary International, as a director and treasurer and as a Trustee of the Rotary Foundation.
