We love connecting with people, other organizations, and their ideas!
Dear Rotarians and friends,
I am pleased and proud to serve as the President of the Rotary Club of Ottawa in this 108th year of its inception.
In the tapestry of philanthropy and goodwill that we weave, each Rotary initiative and project represents a gesture of kindness, a beacon of hope, and a testament to our unwavering resolve.
It is Rotary’s service that defines our distinguished organization. As we embark on another year and continue our journey of altruism and community upliftment, I stand resolute in our commitment to fostering positive change and creating an environment for a sustainable impact.
Our collective efforts, dedication, and a shared vision, have paved the way for transformative initiatives that resonate far beyond our immediate sphere. Together, we exemplify the epitome of service above self, embodying the very core principles upon which the Rotary Club was founded.
Let us continue to embrace diversity, inclusiveness, and innovation, to illuminate the path towards a brighter and more equitable future for all.
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of societal needs and global challenges, let us draw strength from our unity and tenacity. May our actions speak volumes and work towards empowerment to those we serve and inspire.
Together, let us forge ahead with courage, compassion, and conviction, knowing that our collective impact transcends borders and transforms lives. In unity and service, we stand for positive change and meaningful progress.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Maria Khan - President, Rotary Club of Ottawa (2024-2025)
This past week, members of Rotary Ottawa club rolled up their sleeves and volunteered at the Ottawa Food Bank to help sort food donations. Together, we helped sort food for distribution to families and individuals in need across our community. It was a rewarding experience that embodied Rotary’s commitment to service above self.

 | We have created a new style of event called Recipes for Change with aims to help fund our operations, provide an outlet for teams to engage with our community in the kitchen, and learn a little bit more about our food systems and have some deeper conversations about our relationship with the community and food security. Also it's super fun! Everything is provided by Parkdale including ingredients, recipes, packaging, chef instruction and guidance, set up, tear down, and dishwasher. | |
