As part of the Rotary club’s 19th annual rotary4kids fundraiser, the City of North Bay and the Municipality of Callander, proclaimed today as Rotary Club of North Bay Day in their respective communities.
The reading of the proclamations by Mayor Al McDonald and Council Carr, on behalf of Mayor Robb Noon, also included the raising of the Rotary International flag at North Bay City Hall and Callander Centennial Park.
Each year the fundraiser generates much needed funds in support of area children and youth with special needs.
These needs range from the purchase of assistive devices, home renovations, vehicle conversions, enrollment into various programs, assistance to cover uninsured medical costs and out of town travel and funding for special needs teams, just to name a few.
Rotary4Kids Ambassador Aidan (11), a Grade 6 student at Woodlands Public School is pictured here raising the flag at North Bay City Hall as Mayor Al McDonald looks on.
Moose FM host Kevin Oschefski took to the airwaves at 5 am this morning and will stay on the air until 10 am tomorrow.
