Peter firmly believes that in order to prevent addiction in the future, we must work with families and strengthen them so they can provide a safe and nurturing home for their children.
Peter Imhof came to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada in 2001 from Germany. After working almost ten years in technical research and development, he joined Family Centre as Family Support Manager in 2012 and took on the role as Executive Director in 2014. Family Centre is a non-profit organization that offers prevention and early intervention services to strengthen families and parents with a particular focus on care-givers of young children. Peter is passionate about making a difference for our community. He is a chartering member of the Mosaic Rotary Club, works through Family Centre on preparing a strong future for our community, and has recently found something new to be excited about: social entrepreneurship.

What are low, or no cost ways to share our club's work with the public?
One group of students will reveal their plan for a new type of Rotary Club called "Rotary 21" .
These students are bringing a fresh perspective to some recurring Rotary questions, and we guarantee you'll be surprised with what they have to tell you. We invited 18 people (with no prior knowledge of Rotary) to interact with us, to learn about our clubs and give us honest feedback about what they saw. Whether you originally intended to attend or not - you might want to give the presentation a watch. https://youtu.be/Qpc15-fIISs
