WELCOME TO
THE ROTARY CLUB OF PICKERING

 
The Rotary Club of Pickering is passionate about the many local community groups we support. Supporting the community where we live and do business is very important to us. We are equally passionate and excited about our Indigenous Peoples and International projects. Our current projects help people in underdeveloped countries receive clean water through water filtration; and provide training to firefighters in addition to  donating firefighting equipment. Thus we aim to make a difference both in our community and in the world at large.

We meet Tuesdays mornings at 7:15 am three times per month

20 Church Street North, Ajax, ON
(corner of Church and Hwy 2 in the McEachnie Funeral Home Family Centre)
