On Sunday, July 10th, 2022, Rotary International President, Jennifer Jones stopped by Richmond, BC and was welcomed by all four Richmond Rotary clubs.
RI President Jennifer Jones was touring the Lower Mainland last week on her Imagine Canada Tour, and made an important stop in our very own city.
Along with all four Rotary Clubs, elected officials and other important guests, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and RI President Jennifer Jones proclaimed July 10th as Rotary Peace Day in Richmond and dedicated the Garden City Park to a future Rotary Peace Garden. Peace trees were planted in the garden area, with one of the trees named after and in honour of President Jennifer.
Rotarians also unveiled their plans for the future Rotary Peace Garden. All four richmond Rotary clubs are planning to build a Peace Garden in the coming years in collaboration with the City of Richmond.
RI President Jennifer Jones was also in White Rock where she led a beach clean up at the White Rock Pier, and ran into Richmond Rotary's very own Angie Vanderkooi!
It was a special day for Richmond Rotary as an honor to welcome Rotary International's President as she wrapped up her Canada tour. Jennifer Jones is Rotary Internationals first female President, and she is making her mark on Rotary.
