We are thrilled to announce that Sandy Friedrich, a valued member of the Leaside Rotary Club, has been honored with the Paul Harris Fellowship — one of the highest awards given by Rotary International.

Leaside High School Mental Health Initiative
Leaside Rotary’s motto is “Passionately supporting Leaside since 1940.” We express this in different ways. One way is providing funds to local initiatives focussing on supporting children. The most recent example of this was when Leaside Rotary gladly sponsored Leaside High School’s Academic Resiliency Workshops facilitated by Common Compass.
