Proud Club Moment!

Our club wants to send a hugeee "Thank you!" to Rob Eatough, President and Chief Executive Officer of Easter Seals Canada, for joining the Summerside Rotary Club as our guest speaker last tuesday!

Hearing about the incredible work Easter Seals is doing across Prince Edward Island, as well as across Canada, made a strong impression on our members. Their commitment to empowering Islanders, supporting families and strengthening community inclusion is truly inspiring.

We want to give a huge thank‑you to Tammy MacKinnon, Executive Director of Hope House, for her excellent presentation today at Rotary.

Located right here in Summerside (and open since April 2024), Hope House offers a unique and vital service: five private rooms supporting up to five moms and their babies at a time, helping them stay together while learning life‑skills, accessing mental‑health supports, continuing education, and moving toward independent family life.

Tammy’s passion for this work is so clearly evident. We’re grateful for her leadership and for sharing such meaningful insight with our Rotary community ❤️

Welcome to Our Newest Rotarian – Jordan Cameron!

The Rotary Club of Summerside is proud to welcome Jordan Cameron as our newest member!

Jordan grew up in a lively Summerside family as the eldest of six. A graduate of Construction Technology at Holland College and a Red Seal carpenter, his early career took him across Canada and abroad—working on resort maintenance in Banff and eco-home projects around the world, including PEI’s first Earthship-style home in Wellington in 2014.

Since then, Jordan has built and renovated dozens of homes and purpose-built rentals with his brother Riley through Cameron Apartments. He and his wife, Deidre Augustine, are raising three children—August, Vincent, and Remi—while balancing business, family, and community life here in Summerside.

We’re thrilled to have Jordan join the Rotary family and look forward to the passion and experience he’ll bring to our club. 🌿

Two weeks of rotary to chat about :)

Our last two meetings have been filled with inspiration and community spirit.

We were treated to two incredible Rotarian guest speakers:

Tim Hawkin shared a fascinating presentation on AI in Education, sparking great discussion on how technology is shaping the classroom.

Jill Kelly-Waugh, owner of The Medicine Shoppe, stepped in to deliver an amazing talk about her journey to entrepreneurship right here in Summerside, a true story of determination and heart.

AND.... After nearly 30 weeks, our Queen of Hearts draw finally came to an end. Congratulations to Barb Hunter, our lucky winner! 🎉

It’s always inspiring to connect, learn, and celebrate together as a Rotary community.
