With COVID-19 measures lifting ever so slightly, we are in the planning stages of District 7070's World Polio Day 2021 - Live from The Rotary Global Classroom at Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario Canada and anticipate that it will certainly be a hybrid event. We hope that each Club President (Rotary and Rotaract) in District 7070 can attend. If the President cannot attend, you may want someone from your club to be able to see and participate in the live event.
We are asking Rotary and Rotaract Clubs in District 7070 to cancel the weekly meetings this week and instead, watch the livestream , with their spouses, as we broadcast from the Rotary Global Classroom, in the Centre for Collaborative Education Building at Durham College, 2000 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa, ON, Canada L1G 0C5 . Many clubs have already cancelled their weekly meeting so that their members can watch.
This livestream will be broadcast to all Rotary Clubs in District 7070, throughout Canada , and to the rest of the world. The link will be available soon . In addition , the event will be livestreamed to all of the colleges and universities worldwide on the Durham College Rotary Global Classroom Network.
You will also see Rotary International's 2021 World Polio Day video during our October 21 as we broadcast it to the world , live from the Rotary Global Classroom.
In addition, you will be able to ask questions of the distinguished panel.
Stay tuned for the link to this District 7070 Live Event to tell the world that Rotary intends to End Polio Now. .
