Rotary Club of St. Catharines South Hosts Memorial Walk-A-Thon Honouring Brock University Student and Supporting Life-Saving Nutrition in Pakistan
 
Thorold, ON - The Rotary Club of St. Catharines South will host the first annual Alina Masud Memorial Indoor Walk-A-Thon on Saturday, January 24, 2026, from 3:00–6:00 p.m. at Canada Games Park in Thorold, honouring the life and legacy of Alina Masud, a Brock University student remembered for her compassion and generosity.
 
Organized by the Club’s International Committee, the fundraiser reflects Rotary’s long-standing commitment to addressing child malnutrition in Pakistan, Alina’s ancestral homeland. Funds raised will support the procurement of therapeutic food and essential micronutrients for children under five, as well as pregnant and lactating women - interventions that are proven to save lives when delivered on time.
 
Through partnerships under the Trust for Malnutrition & Stunted Growth (TMSG), Rotary-led efforts have already supported treatment for tens of thousands of children and mothers.
Registration for the walk is $10, and members of the public are encouraged to participate alongside family, friends, and workplace teams.
 
 
By hosting this event, the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South aims to honour Alina Masud’s legacy by turning remembrance into meaningful, life-saving impact.
Proudly supporting Eden youth to attend annual Secondary Schools United Nations Symposium
 
In November, President John and Youth Director Dan once again proudly presented a cheque for $3,200 to Eden Secondary School to help send 16 outstanding students to Montréal for the 2025 Secondary Schools United Nations Symposium (SSUNS).

We’re thrilled to have supported these students in experiencing an inspiring weekend of debate, diplomacy, and global problem-solving alongside peers from across North America. SSUNS is known as one of the most diverse and impactful high-school conferences, offering students the chance to engage in meaningful discussions on some of the world’s most pressing geopolitical issues.

Our club is proud to support opportunities that empower young people to lead, learn, and make a difference. Congratulations to the entire delegation on what we know was an unforgettable experience!

How a St. Catharines South Idea Grew Into a Global Rotary Movement

Sometimes, the biggest impact starts with a single idea. In 2015, Rotarian Najeeb Syed shared a simple concept with Rotary International: “Every Rotarian should plant one tree.” Though the initiative didn’t launch immediately, it inspired the “One Tree, One Rotarian” movement that would later see millions of trees planted worldwide.

World Polio Day is October 24

World Polio Day, held every year on October 24, is an opportunity for Rotary members to rally the world around the fight to eradicate the disease forever. Since 1988, we have seen a worldwide reduction in polio cases of 99.9%. For more than three years, we've seen wild polio cases in only two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This year the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South will be joining the other Rotary Clubs of St. Catharines (Downtown an Lakeshore) in a flag raising ceremony taking place at the St. Catharines City Hall on Friday October 21st, 2022. Please join us in being part of this very important ceremony.
