Neighbours Helping Neighbours
Our hearts are with all who have been affected by the wildfires across our beautiful province being displaced, evacuated away from their homes and communities, and for some losing everything. To the firefighters risking their lives on the frontlines, we thank you! Our neighbours to the north have been affected by the largest wildfire in the province, and it’s heartbreaking to hear of the loss in Telegraph Creek, so we wanted to help out the community.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Terrace, President Chad Sallenback presents a $5,000.00 cheque for the Tahltan Fire Relief Fund.

The 56th Annual Rotary Club of Terrace Auction was held November 5th and 6th with great success! $72 000 of donated items were auctioned off by the spirited efforts of our Auctioneers. At the end of the Auction, we have raised $44 600, plus we received another $3700 from cash donors. We appreciate the enthusiasm of bidders who placed some 5300 bids before and during the 13 hours of the Auction.
Our Auction provides funds that enable the Club to respond to requests for financial assistance to many organizations in the community. Those organizations provide benefits to youth, to the community facilities, to social programs and to recreational programs.
Each year, we thank our donors, volunteers and our supporters in Citywest, TLC Solutions, Bell Media and the Terrace Standard for their contributions to this successful event. Without your enthusiastic involvement, we could not reach our fundraising goals.
Mark your calendars for the 2017 Rotary Club of Terrace Online Auction to be held November 4th and 5th, 2017.
