For 26 years, the Rotary Club of Grimsby has supported local charities through its annual Festival of Trees. From Nov. 27 to Dec. 7, 2025, uniquely decorated Christmas trees filled the Grimsby Museum, delighting over 3,000 visitors of all ages. The magic of the event is that most of the trees will become raffle prizes, going to the homes of the luckiest visitors. There are also other valuable items for raffle and an online auction. We are grateful for the fantastic, dedicated work of Kerry Vandermolen, her team and all our sponsors who make this happen.Our ‘Meet a Professional or Hobbyist’ series continued at the Grimsby Public Library.
Longtime safety expert and Rotary member Clarence McLean (PHOTO RIGHT) delivered a session that challenged us to develop a safety mindset.
McLean said, “Almost all accidents are preventable.”
The series will continue at the library on Jan. 8, 2026, when Rotary Club of Grimsby member Gordon Lampman will share about coaching Special Olympic Athletes.
