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

As part of Rotary International, the Royal City Rotary Club brings that vision to life through service. We are committed to uniting people with purpose and integrity to strengthen and care for our communities—locally, regionally, and internationally.

We believe real change happens when we work together. Many hands make light work, and by joining forces, we lift burdens, amplify impact, and create lasting good.  CLICK "Membership Enquiry" above to connect and find our more.

WHY Purpose Society matters to New Westminster, and WHY the support from Royal City Rotary Club matters to New Westminster

Purpose Society is particularly important to New Westminster because it is a locally based organization with a regional reach. Its services help address issues that affect the whole community, even when the people receiving assistance are a relatively small or less visible part of the population.

The Society's work also complements the efforts of municipal government, schools, health authorities, other non-profits and local businesses. No single organization can solve complex social challenges on its own, but a multi-service organization can help people access the right support at the right time.

The Lower Mainland Purpose Society has been a part of the New Westminster community since 1983. Royal City Rotary Club has been a supporter of various Purpose Society programs for many years. At our recent Breakfast meeting we heard an update from new Executive Director Eric Osmond regards the extensive positive impact Purpose Society has on local and regional communities.
