Being part of Rotary is being part of a global communityWith a network of over 35 000 clubs in 200 countries, Rotarians, together, continue to actively serve their local communities and beyond, in fighting diseases, supporting mothers and children, improving sanitation and promoting peace and education.
In our club, we are a tight knit team of volunteers, working hand in hand with the local community to raise funds, support charities and serve those most in need.
We hold our doors wide open to all those who are looking for a warm and congenial community and are interested in volunteering opportunities. Our weekly meeting is a great place to make new friends, meet old ones, share ideas and catch up on the local news.
Welcome to our club!
June 2021 - The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty donated an AED (defibrillator) to the Cooke family for their son, Jack (second left in photo).

June 2021 - The 18th annual Harry MacLauchlan 'Great Day Fore Health' Memorial Golf Tournament was held on June 16, 2021 at the Belvedere Golf Club. This year's tournament, organized by the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty, raised over $70,000 for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation.

April 2021 - Bob Gray from the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty presented a cheque to Julie McCabe for the Inner City Youth Skills Camp for 2021. This annual funding provides an opportunity for young people who ordinarily would not be able to go to a camp in the summer, and the Rotarians are always happy to be able to support it.
On Feb. 22, 2021, Premier Dennis King presented the Premier's State of the Province Address. This annual Rotary event is normally a dinner and Premier's address to the Rotary Clubs of P.E.I., however this year, due to Covid-19, it was delivered over the government's Facebook and Youtube channels to all Islanders. The event was hosted this year by the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty, with club president Ouma Cuniah giving opening remarks and thanking the premier afterwards.
Feb. 2021 - Our club approved the purchase of six stationary spin bikes for St. Jean Elementary. These bikes will be used as part of the school's Flexible Learning Centre, which helps students learn ways to self-regulate themselves in a safe and supportive environment. The goal is to reduce challenging behaviours, improve social interaction and academic success.
In the photo, Past President Gary Conohan presents the spin bikes to Tracey McAskill, Youth Service Worker at St. Jean Elementary.
Aug. 2020 - President Gary Conohan had the pleasure of presenting a cheque to Colleen VanWesterneng of the REACH Foundation.

Recently our QEH Golf Committee toured the Endoscopy Department of the hospital with Paula Triantafillou, Clinical Lead/Educator.
This year, funds raised from our QEH Golf Tournament will support the purchase of two Colonoscopes for the QEH Endoscopy Department. The Department’s original fleet of scopes is eight years old and at the end of their life cycles. The QEH requires 13 new scopes to ensure patients continue to receive optimal care, diagnosis and treatment.
