Recent Guest Speakers
August 22nd Speaker: Nepal Rainwater Collection Ponds Project
A well-known friend to many Rotarians in our area, Bruce Higgs is a dedicated supporter of Rotary International work. He has led countless projects abroad under the Rotary banner. We welcomed him back at our club to hear about the work done in Nepal. Kingston Frontenac Rotary having supported the Nepal rainwater ponds project, it was rewarding to get a progress report. Each pond built displays a Rotary sign. Bruce is leading a Rotary trip in November in Nepal where some of the Rotarians in our area will be able to examine first hand the impact of the project.

August 1st Speaker:  Heart and Stroke Foundation
Cory Watkins, area manager for the Heart and Stoke Foundation, gave us a great presentation. While he did highlight the great activities of the Foundation in terms of advancing research and awareness to save lives, the focus of his presentation was on educating us on the various facets of heart disease. It was very effective. Thank you Cory for making us more aware, and hopefully more ready, to deal with this disease affecting so many Canadians.
July 25th Speaker: Canadian Cannabis Clinics
On July 25th, Shelley Franklin from the Canadian Cannabis Clinics presented to the Kingston Frontenac Rotary Club. Shelley gave us a great review of how medical cannabis is prescribed and distributed in Canada. She explained the different forms of cannabis prescribed to Canadian suffering from chronic illness. The differences between the medical and the recreational sectors were explained. Thank you Shelley for a very informative session about a topic where great misunderstanding exists at present in advance of the upcoming deregulation of the recreational cannabis segment.
