Rotary Dog Park brings together pets and people in Terrace to socialize and have fun
Hundreds of dog owners in Terrace finally have a safe site for exercising and socialising their dogs in a dedicated park. Not only had the City of Terrace received multiple requests for an off leash dog park, RC Terrace had also heard from the community about this need. Dog owners who do not have a fenced yard now have a place where they can let their dogs exercise and interact with other dogs. Dogs benefit from socialising with other dogs and the owners also benefit from interacting with other owners. This first dog park in Terrace opened in 2022, thanks to $31,000 in funding from the Rotary Club of Terrace, and a $10,000.00 Rotary District Grant, plus services provided by the City of Terrace.

Squiggles Stander closes the gap in Quesnel between inaccessible and accessible living for young children in need 
A Squiggles Stander gives children from the age of 2 to 5, who cannot stand on their own, the support and independence they need to be able to join in and have fun with activities with others such as creating arts and crafts, playing catch or singing in a choir. It is a wheeled frame that holds the user in upright or other positions, providing weight-bearing support to enable patient-mobility in an upright or other position.
 
Because the Squiggles Stander was not available to a family through any service provider in Quesnel, the Rotary Club of Quesnel, with support from a District Grant, purchased one for Quesnel & District Child Development Centre.

Bikes boost education for girls in rural African communities
Nearly one billion people in rural regions of the world live in communities far from the nearest paved road, walking for miles each day just to survive. On foot, individuals race against the sun to complete everyday tasks. Distance is a barrier to attending school, receiving healthcare, delivering goods to market and other critical services needed to thrive.
 
Girls with bikes get to school faster and have more energy for their schoolwork. “Girls with bikes are more than twice as likely to complete elementary school”. As a result, they are more likely to go on and graduate from high school. This means a better life for them and their family.
 
Only $205 can provide a “Buffalo Bike” to a schoolgirl in rural Africa through World Bicycle Relief. Rotary Club of West Vancouver Sunrise, in conjunction with Norwest Cycling Club, has contributed $10,250 to this organization, with the support of a District Grant of over $3,400, for the purchase of 50 Buffalo Bikes.
