Weekly Meeting - February 25, 2026
 
What began as a golf meeting evolved into an international meeting with Rotarians from four different clubs in Jamaica. Fay recently visited her homeland and made many connections with old and new friends and invited them to join one of our meetings. It was a pleasant and enlightening evening getting to know fellow Rotarians and to learn about their club's initiatives and projects. We saw that their dedication and passion embodies the core values of Rotary; fellowship, diversity, service, integrity and leadership. We look forward to developing a relationship with our new friends.

On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, Rotary Ottawa South will once again host its annual Charity Golf Day—a fantastic mix of friendly competition, great food, fun, and community spirit.

 

Supporting Rotel

This year, proceeds from the tournament will support Rotel, a charitable organization providing comfortable, affordable accommodation for patients, families, and medical visitors who need to stay near The Ottawa Hospital and CHEO.

Located close to The Ottawa Hospital General Campus, Rotel offers clean, private rooms in a safe and supportive environment—helping reduce stress during what is often one of the most difficult times in a person’s life.

For over 35 years, Rotel has supported individuals from across Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and across Canada. By participating in this tournament, you are helping ensure that no patient or family has to choose between being close to critical medical care and being able to afford a place to stay. Your support directly helps keep Rotel accessible to those who need it most.

The Tournament

Just like in past years, the tournament will be an 18-hole scramble with a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start at The Meadows Golf and Country Club.

Your registration includes:

  • BBQ lunch & seated dinner

  • Signature themed holes – Margarita Hole, Poutine Hole, Spicy Caesar Hole, Mac’n’Cheese Hole

  • Contests & prizes – Putting, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Beat the Pro, Hole-in-One

  • 50/50 ticket draw, silent & live auctions

  • Live music & entertainment

  • Exciting surprises & a feel-good experience
