From November 19th, 2020 to January 9th, 2021 members of our club (and a few friends) have volunteered to work the entrance booth at The Enchanted Forest. It is our 5th season there and we are happy to see many people taking part in this great fundraiser for The Zoo Foundation and The Hospital Foundation. With this being a safe family event, we are happy to see thousands of people out to view the lights and support the community. Our club is thankful to take part in such a worthwhile event in the community.
In December we held on online auction through McDougall Auctions. Rotarians donated new and regifted items to raise money. On our last zoom Rotary meeting in December, board members purchased small gifts that were auctioned off to the members. These two auctions, together with further monetary donations from the members, plus our annual giving, allowed us to donate a total of $4,000 to the Saskatoon Food Bank. This is a significant gift in a great time of need!
In 2020, our club gave out $1000 in scholarships to Oskayak students for the 2019-2020 year. Pictured below are Serenity Obey who received a $500 scholarship for continuing education and Zachary Whitehawk who received a $250 merit scholarship. Lauren Kennedy was our final $250 merit scholarship recipient. (no picture). Congratulations to all three of you.

It is with great regret that we advise that the 8th annual Saskatoon RibFest, organized by The Rotary Club of Saskatoon Nutana, will be cancelled for this year. The event was scheduled for July 31st – Aug. 3, 2020.
We support initiatives that reduce the impact the Covid 19 pandemic continues to have on our city and province and, with still so much uncertainty at this time, we feel it is best to postpone Ribfest until 2021.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you,
Candace Odishaw

On January 31, 2020 the Rotary Club of Saskatoon Nutana University, a satellite club of the Rotary Club of Saskatoon Nutana, officially began operations. The first 12 members of the satellite club were inducted. A 13th member could not attend and will be inducted at a later date. All the members are graduate students at the University of Saskatchewan and come from 10 different countries. The club meets on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, beginning at 12:15 p.m., at the GSA Commons (formerly the College of Emmanuel and St.Chad) on the University of Saskatchewan Campus.We gathered under cool but dry conditions on September 24, 2019 to dedicate the 11th brick placed in the Peace Plaza at Rotary Park to honor past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize. Sponsored by McDougall Gauley LLP, this year's brick recognized Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 in recognition of their work in the area of human rights. Students from St. Anne Inquiry School conducted the program and made inspiring presentations about the work of the three women. District Governor Fred Wright spoke of Rotary's efforts in peace and conflict resolution and encouraged participation in the Adventure in Human Rights program in Winnipeg. |
