Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

As part of Rotary International, Rotary Club of New Westminster - Royal City, affectionately referred to as ROYAL CITY ROTARY, is committed to uniting people in service. We work with purpose and integrity to build stronger, more caring communities from the ground up — locally, regionally, and internationally.

We believe in the power of working together: many hands make light work. By joining forces, we can lift burdens and create lasting impact.
