WE ARE SORRY TO ANNOUNCE - NO TREES!!

We are sorry to announce to the community that due to a major shortage of Christmas Trees this year (2022), we are unable to find a supplier in Ontario who will provide us with trees. Please look for us next year when we will again try to bring this community service and fundraiser to Bracebridge.

Spring Holiday Meals and Treats for Manna Food Bank

Rotarians Jon Denbok and Paul Mascarin deliver Rotary's monthly meals to the Manna Food Bank just before the Easter weekend. Special treats from the Easter bunny were also on hand to brighten up little faces.

The Great Potato Caper!!

40,000 pounds of Potatoes arrived at the Fanotech Plant on Feb 19, 2022 to be distributed throughout Muskoka by all the Rotary Clubs in the Muskoka area. Ten-pound bags of potatoes went to food banks and social food programs across the area. This project all started with Rotarian Paul Hammond of the Rotary Club of Bracebridge who thought we should help the PEI potato farmers and our local food programs. Along with a grant from the District Municipality of Muskoka and the Province of Ontario, a truckload of potatoes came to Bracebridge. The truck rolled in on Saturday morning and was totally unloaded and distributed by 11:30 AM. Another Job well done by Rotarians in Muskoka!!! Many hands made light work. All enjoyed Poutine (what else) after the loading was done.
