Join us in Drumheller!

Rotary district conventions serve as a unique platform for reconnecting with old acquaintances and forging new friendships. The upcoming convention in Drumheller on May 4 and 5, 2024, promises to uphold this tradition, offering an enriching experience for attendees.

Distinguished speakers, renowned for their ability to weave compelling narratives, will center their discussions around the theme of 'Creating Hope in the World.' Their diverse storytelling approaches will captivate and inspire, providing attendees with a fresh perspective.

Engaging breakout sessions are designed to broaden your understanding of the expansive Rotary world. Noteworthy, this year's convention will kick off at 10:00 am on Saturday, facilitating convenient morning travel for district Rotarians. To ensure a packed schedule of fellowship and informative programs, the event will extend until 3:00 pm on Sunday. This thoughtful scheduling allows participants to return home at a reasonable hour.

Anticipate the creation of lasting memories, ones that participants will carry with them and eagerly share with fellow Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike.

See you in Drumheller at the Badlands Community Facility!
