Bathurst Rotary Club helps Veterans

In this time of COVID 19, the Royal Canadian Legion, Bathurst, has experienced substantially less donations to this year’s Poppy Campaign. Therefore, the Rotary Club of Bathurst decided to donate $1000 to this worthy cause.

Lest We Forget.

Over $1,000 worth of vegetables from Rotary Garden donated to the Bathurst Food Bank

Our final harvest for the season is complete.

Kudos to our head gardener, Irenée Robichaud (pictured above, with Michel Godin of the Food Bank), for all his efforts.

Our final harvest included 63 pounds of cabbage, 52 pounds of carrots and 44 pounds of turnips.

Overall this season we were able to donate over $1,000 worth of vegetables to the Bathurst Food Bank.

A HUGE thanks to Irenée and all of our volunteers – both ‘Rotarians’ and ‘Friends of Rotary’!
