When GTC heard that Rotary was losing their storage for all of their Christmas characters, trees, lights and Santa’s sleigh for the Gift of Light Christmas Celebration at Diefenbaker Park, they stepped up and offered a forty foot container. GCT then introduced us to one of their good customers, KTL Transport, who offered to provide transportation and storage.
Rotarian Tom Smith who led the search for new storage said, “I don’t know how we can repay this generosity. On behalf of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen, I thank Sukh Tuhan and Varun Chotani from KTL and Ryan Thomas from GCT for stepping up as our community partners.”
Smith added, “thanks also to Ian Bourhill of Hilmar Industries for the many years of free storage of our Gift of Light displays, we couldn’t have come this far without them. Now we can look forward to a fabulous light display at Diefenbaker Park again this year.”
Farms in Delta and Tsawwassen can reach out to Chloe Leslie, program manager at Vancouver Food Runners, to learn more about donating their produce and getting involved.

PickUp3. Simple action.
Instant impact.
When we hear the ocean is in trouble it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you want to take action but don’t know where to start, PickUp3 is your answer! PickUp3 is a growing movement driven by communities that care. These communities want to remove plastic and other waste from our beaches, educate on the importance of ocean health and inspire people to take action and care for their oceans.
The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen has lost our friend, colleague, club leader, community leader and all round great guy, Dave Hamilton. Dave passed away at the end of March 2021 with his partner Tanya Hall by his side, after battling prostate cancer for many years. Dave's accomplishments both in Rotary and in the South Delta Community through many organizations have played a large part in shaping the great community we know and enjoy today. Dave explemlified the Rotary Motto "Service Above Self" and lived the 4 way test in his work and personal life. 1. Is it the TRUTH ? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and better friendships? 4. Is it BENEFICIAL to all concerned? |
