The D7090 Rotary HIP (Honouring Indigenous Peoples) committee is thrilled to announce that D7090 will be hosting the 2026 Youth to Youth Reconciliation event, to be held at Six Nations in Brantford in March 2026. This program recruits 50% Indigenous and 50% non-Indigenous student leaders, historically from Districts all across Canada, to participate in a reconciliation event featuring cultural teaching by First Nation elders.
This year, with our cross-border district, we will be including students from the US for the first time, so we will be looking to recruit student leaders – 2 from the US and 2 from Canada from our District.
We are also looking at a Peace and Conflict Resolution Global Grant to help provide funding for the amazing life-changing event.
Watch for more info on this event with application process to begin in September.
