Our Club

Welcome to the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South!

We are a vibrant and active club that welcomes both the young and the young at heart.

These meetings provide a welcoming space to gather, listen to engaging speakers, plan service opportunities, and enjoy each other's company. It’s also a great chance for you to explore our club and discuss the possibility of becoming a member of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South!
