Milton's Canada Day Celebration is back! Milton Rotary has a long history of helping to celebrate Canada Day, especially through the 1980s and 1990s when it was held at Rotary Park.

In 2026, we will proudly assist the Canada Day Committee by volunteering to collect donations at the entrance gates at the Milton Fairgrounds, staffing the pedestrian gates on Thomas Street and Robert Street, as well as the vehicle parking gate at Robert Street. All donations will help with the cost of running the Canada Day event, and a small portion of the proceeds will go to help Milton Rotary with worthy projects that primarily help local youth.

To volunteer for a shift, please contact Rod McLachlan, Director of Community Service.

Members of Milton Rotary, their partners/spouses and family are invited to our Annual Gavel Toss as we celebrate the year's accomplishments and the leadership of outgoing President Rubina Ali, and look forward to officially welcoming our incoming President-Elect Rebecca Hunter. This will also be our Annual General Meeting.

Please RSVP to Rebecca Hunter. She will provide you with the address of the meeting. There will be a small per person fee to cover the main course of dinner. Attendees are invited to bring a salad, appetizer, or dessert potluck style.

Join as Incoming President Rebecca Hunter provides a State of the Club address. This is your chance to also provide input and direction for the Rotary Year ahead, as well as express interest in which projects or committees you would like to serve as a member or chair.

Friend of Milton Rotary and first-time author Bryan Simpson shares his new novel with us, Vicki's Secret. You don't want to miss this...

Twelve-year-old Vicki Woods just wanted to survive. But survival, she quickly learns, sometimes requires becoming the very thing you fear.

When a childhood defined by abuse and neglect pushes her to cross an unforgivable line, Vicki flees rural Tennessee for a fresh start in Wisconsin. Yet the darkness she carries doesn’t stay buried. As she grows into a fiercely intelligent, fiercely manipulative young woman, Vicki builds a life on carefully constructed lies, strategic alliances, and ruthless self-preservation. But when old secrets threaten to surface and new dangers close in, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur.

Vicki’s Dark Secret is a chilling, character-driven psychological thriller that peels back the layers of a brilliant but fractured mind. You’ll experience:

• A morally complex protagonist who challenges everything you know about victimhood and villainy
• A gripping, multi-decade narrative spanning rural trauma, small-town whispers, and the cutthroat world of adulthood
• Unpredictable twists that keep you questioning who to trust—and who to fear

Perfect for readers who crave the psychological depth of Gillian Flynn and the tense, unflinching suspense of Lucy Foley, this novel explores how trauma shapes us, how secrets consume us, and how far one woman will go to protect the life she’s built.
Will Vicki’s carefully curated world survive the truth? Or will her darkest secret finally consume her?

Join us as Rotary District 7080 Governor Uche Okugo joins us for his official visit. 

Uche Okugo is a dedicated Rotarian whose journey embodies the very essence of Service Above Self. Uche brings two decades of impactful service, visionary leadership, and international Rotary experience, as he contributes to Create Lasting Impact.

He began his Rotary journey on May 4, 2006, in Nigeria as a member of the Rotary Club of Asaba in former District 9140 (now 9141), and later continued with the Rotary Club of Ota in former District 9110 (now 9111). Over his membership time in Nigeria, he served as Club Administration Chair, Treasurer, Trainer, President Installation Committee Chair, District Conference Committee member, Club Secretary, and President-Elect. 

Since relocating to Canada in 2018, he has been an active and proud member of the Rotary Club of Brampton (District 7080), where he also served as President.

A committed supporter of The Rotary Foundation, Uche is a Major Donor, member of the Paul Harris Society, PolioPlus Society, and Bequest Society Level 2 - demonstrating both his generosity and belief in Rotary’s global impact.

At the district level, Uche has held several influential leadership roles. As Interact Committee Chair and along with a dedicated team, the innovative Interact Grant Writing Initiative was launched, empowering youth with practical skills and global awareness. He later served as Youth Service Director and distinguished himself as a two-time Convention Promotions Chair, leading over 50 Rotarians to Rotary International Conventions in Melbourne, Australia, and Singapore.

At the club level, his leadership has been equally transformative. As Membership Chair of the Rotary Club of Brampton, he developed a structured Membership Induction Ceremony and a New Member Mentorship Program, and personally recruited 15 new members then; strengthening the club’s culture of engagement and retention.

In a landmark moment ahead of the Rotary International Convention in Calgary last year, Uche led the hosting of a groundbreaking Rotary Friendship Exchange with District 9111 (Nigeria). This historic initiative culminated in the City of Brampton proclaiming June 18 as Rotary Friendship Exchange Day - a first in Rotary’s global history.

Professionally, Uche is an Economic Development leader with the City of Brampton, where he drives innovation and technology initiatives focused on empowering Black founders and startup ecosystems. 

His academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, an MBA, certifications in Leadership and Financial Trading, and an Advanced Certificate in Economic Development from the University of Waterloo.

Deeply engaged across the Rotary world, Uche is a Founding Member of the Rotary Fellowship of Public Speakers, a member of the Rotarian Action Group for Community Economic Development (RAGCED), an Ambassador for the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Rotary Action Group (WASHRAG), and a Peace Ambassador with the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Uche lives in Brampton, Ontario, with his wife of 15 years - a fellow Rotarian and Multiple Paul Harris Fellow - and their son, who is also a Paul Harris Fellow. Together, they represent a family fully committed to Rotary’s ideals and global mission.

No Meeting - Civic Holiday

Elaine Cray is our guest speaker. She is the founder of a local grassroots initiative called The Special Friends Network (SFN) that has been running for almost 10 years, right here in Milton and the surrounding areas (Halton and Peel). The SFN brings together youth and young adults of all abilities to foster friendships and to be involved in the community. They do this through fun events such as bowling, dance parties, art sessions, book clubs and so many more fun activities. They also volunteer in the community at various venues, such as seniors’ and community dinners and lunches, the food bank, community clean-ups, and more.
