Rotary 7820

Our District

Bonded by the North Atlantic and our rich marine heritage, we have been pursuing the Object of Rotary here since 1913, when the Rotary Club of Halifax was chartered. Subsequently, Rotary was introduced in Charlottetown (1917), Sydney (1920) and St. John’s (1921) in what was then the country of Newfoundland. The international character of the District was further enriched in 1989 when the Rotary Club of Saint Pierre et Miquelon of France was sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Sydney and North Sydney.

Geographically one of the largest of Rotary International’s 529 Districts, we are a family of 46 Rotary Clubs and 1800 Rotarians in an area twice the size of Great Britain. We embrace the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador; Isles de la Madeleine (Québec) and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (France). Our current clubs are enclosed within a giant triangle formed by Yarmouth in the southwest, Labrador City-Wabush to the north (1025 air kms) and St. John’s (1185 air kms) to the southeast. (more)
