The Rotary Club of Peterborough is an organization of change-makers and city-builders.
From our earliest beginnings in 1921 as one of the first Rotary Clubs in Canada to currently planning to celebrate our centennial anniversary, the Club has sought to connect leaders from diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas, share interests and take action on many of our toughest social challenges.
For nearly one hundred years, Rotarians have played instrumental roles in building Peterborough from helping to establish and grow Camp Kawartha to the construction of the Rotary Greenway Trail, Rotarians have shown incredible leadership and vision in building our city.
But their reach extends far beyond Peterborough. We have contributed to the global “Polio Plus Eradication” program and helped people in impoverished countries around the world with educational and female empowerment partnership programs.

HISTORY OF ROTARY CLUB OF PETERBOROUGH
A Very Brief History of the Rotary Club of Peterborough
The Rotary Club of Peterborough was inaugurated on April 1, 1921. Its founding president was Fred L. Roy, whose drive and vision ensured the club’s creation. We were the first service club in Peterborough, and the first Rotary club in Rotary District 7010 (in fact, the district had to be created because of our founding). We quickly grew from 25 charter members to well over 100 members.
Over the next 100 years, our club sponsored the creation of three other local Rotary clubs: Lindsay (1922), Bridgenorth Ennismore Lakefield (1976), and Peterborough Kawartha (1989).
