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. Our club holds lunch meetings on the first and fourth (sometimes fifth) Tuesday of the month, socials on the second week (with varying day and time depending on the activity), and board meetings on the third week of the month. Our meetings take place at the St. Catharines Club, conveniently located at 77 Ontario Street, St. Catharines, ON, in the heart of the revitalized downtown core. This venue allows us to gather, listen to engaging speakers, plan service opportunities, and enjoy each other's company. It's also an excellent opportunity for you to explore our club and discuss the possibility of becoming a member of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South!

To learn more or express your interest in membership, please reach out to our Membership Committee at membership@rotarysouth.ca.

Beyond our weekly meetings, we engage in a variety of activities. We organize socials at different venues around the Niagara Region, participate in fundraising events, and provide service opportunities.
