The Rotary Catch the Ace Raffle
We all win when we help others!!
The Rotary Club of Toronto West is participating in an exciting new online raffle platform that is being shared with many other Rotary Clubs in Ontario.
The Catch the Ace Weekly Raffle is licensed in Ontario by the AGCO. A full 50% of the total money raised is shared with the winning participants. After modest administrative costs are deducted, the remaining balance is immediately available for the needs of Etobicoke and West Toronto charities and organizations supported by our club to supply desperately needed food, clothing, and shelter to people in our community.

Scotch Nosing Success
After enduring the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic for nearly two years, your local Rotarians wanted to conduct some fundraising in a party atmosphere. On the evening of November 18th, with the support of the Lambton Golf and Country Club, members of the Rotary Club of Toronto West and their guests had one heck of a good time with the return of the Club’s ever-popular Scotch Nosing Event!
Scotch connoisseur Bryan Simpson, who is the National Brand Ambassador for Ardbeg & Glenmorangie, provided an educational and occasionally hilarious overview on the finer points of scotch appreciation, while Executive Chef Michael Russel and Lambton’s staff prepared an incredible meal that was impeccably served. When you add in piper John Cameron, the haggis and Robbie Burn’s Address, it was truly an evening to remember.
To enjoy more photos and videos of this one-of-a-kind event, please visit our image collection , and come back to our website often to stay current on all our activities.
We are forever grateful for the generous community support that makes our projects and ongoing support of local and international charities possible. Thank you!

A Rotary Thanksgiving
Another Thank You!
Click image to enlarge On April 23rd, we hosted a virtual gala event including a silent auction. With CTV's Colin D'Mello acting as MC, we celebrated the incredible accomplishments of our local heroes: David Lockett from PACT Urban Peace Program, Dr. Eric Bouffet and Police Constables Julie Rowe and Leanna Gill.
Your generous donations have enabled RTW to continue to provide support to worthy partners such as Meagan’s HUG, a community based charity that raises hope and awareness about and funds for paediatric brain tumour research, and ProAction Cops and Kids, a Toronto Police Services program directed at tackling youth violence, bullying and mental health.
Your donations will also help the Rotary Club of Toronto West to continue our support of local charitable organizations experiencing a spike in demand for services due to the pandemic, such as Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter, the Thistletown Food Bank, the St. James Food Basket, Haven on the Queensway and the George Hull Centre.
