100 Years of Rotary
In New Glasgow

The world has seen so many changes in the past 100 years. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is the important role Rotary plays on both the world stage and in small communities like ours here in Pictou County.

As we reflect on the last 100 years, we are reminded of the countless lives we have touched, the communities we have uplifted, and the friendships we have formed. The Rotary Club of New Glasgow’s legacy is not just measured in years but in the collective efforts of generations of Rotarians who dedicated themselves to making a difference.
