Santa came to town, and we helped him get there!
Once again, this year, the Rotary Club of Port Hope @porthoperotary teamed up with Santa to get his sleigh and trusty reindeer crew parade-ready for the Port Hope Santa Claus Parade in @municipalityofporthope!
A huge thank you to Cooper Equipment Rentals @cooperequipmentrentals for the flatbed truck and the incredibly helpful Bobcat. You saved the day!
And a frosty shout-out to Jack Burger Sport Complex for providing all the snow we could possibly need.
Nothing says community spirit like coming together to bring a little extra magic to Port Hope!

Tom visited our club on March 10, 2025One of Canada's most popular actors and country folk singers, Jackson is also well known as an entrepreneur. He was born to Rose, a Cree mother and Marshall, an English father on the One Arrow Reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada. His family moved to Namao, Alberta when he was seven years old. He moved with his family to Winnipeg, Manitoba at age fourteen. A year later, Jackson dropped out of high school taking a life on the streets for seven years. From these humble beginnings, he rose to become one of Canada's favorite and most honoured First Nations performers. Jackson founded the annual Huron Carole fund-raising concerts in 1987 in order to support the Salvation Army. His most notable television appearances were on Shining Time Station (1989) as Billy Twofeathers and North of 60 (1992) as Peter Kenidi. In January 2000, he was named to the Order of Canada, that country's highest civilian award. Jackson was the Chancellor of Trent University from 2009 to 2013.
On Wednesday February 12th, from 5:30-8pm, The combined school councils of Dr. M.S. Hawkins Senior Public School and Port Hope High School held an event
called Connect, an evening of health, wellness, and community. This event was open to the entire community, not just those associated with the school, and was free to attend.
The goal of the evening was to connect the community to the resources in town that benefit their health and wellness. To that end local non-profits, community groups, and services, came out, set up booths, and talked about what they do, the events and resources that they provide to the community, and how people can get involved. In addition, there were a variety of free activities for everyone to take part in, including fitness classes, informative talks on health, art activations with Critical Mass Art, drum circles with SONG, cooking demonstrations, and more.
This was an event for the entire family to attend, have fun, and enjoy an evening together while also increasing their connection to the town and the schools themselves. We are excited for this opportunity to showcase both the schools and the impressive facilities to the surrounding community.
The Rotary Club of Port Hope was proud to be part of the event and provided pizza for those in attendance.
