Rotary began for me in September 1973 when my client and great friend Ted Lacey invited me to join him for a Rotary meeting at Idalia Golf Club. At 29 I became the youngest member, but was impressed with the courtesy and respect I was afforded by members who seemed to be all the movers and shakers of the Port Hope community.

The contest on the theme of “Canada’s North” was open to residents of Port Hope and also to those living in Arviat, Nunavut. Arviat is a village on the west side of Hudson’s Bay. Farley travelled there and worked with villagers on a film. We did not receive any entries from Arviat this year due to Covid-19 protocols and severe weather, but we look forward to future collaborations.

National Film Board Films about Farley Mowat If you would like to learn more about Farley Mowat, there are two films about Farley on the National Film Board website ( www.nfb.ca) that you can watch on your computer, tablet or phone. Here is a link to learn more about the NFB apps for Apple or Android devices. Finding Farley – 2009 - 1 hour 2 minutes – by Leanne Allison In this feature documentary, husband-and-wife team Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison (Being Caribou), along with their 2-year-old son and dog, retrace the literary footsteps of Canadian writer Farley Mowat. They canoe east from Calgary towards the Prairies (the geography of Farley's Born Naked and Owls in the Family) and then traverse the same paths that Mowat took more than 60 years earlier in Never Cry Wolf and People of the Deer. Their epic 5,000 km journey—trekking, sailing, portaging and paddling—ends in the Maritimes, at Mowat's Nova Scotia summer home. https://www.nfb.ca/film/finding_farley/ Ten Million Books: An Introduction to Farley Mowat – 1981 - 25 minutes – by Andy Thomson Farley Mowat has sold more books than any other Canadian writer – 10 million copies in 22 languages in 50 countries. In this short film, Mowat recalls some of his experiences that have found their way into his work. https://www.nfb.ca/film/ten_million_books/

Paula Pigari from Brazil was hosted by the Rotary Club of Port Hope in 2004 -05. Recently, Paula arrived in Canada with Daniel, her husband of two years. They visited our club on November 9, 2015. Paula is now a tax lawyer in Brazil. Daniel is an architect, and he also owns a glass company that makes windows, mirrors and shower enclosures.
Paula and Daniel stayed with one of Paula's close friends from her time in Port Hope. Steph and her husband live in Uxbridge. When Paula and Daniel came to Port Hope, they stayed with Paula' first host family, Elizabeth Gordon and Wayne Pierce. Their daughter, Mariko Vecchiola, went to France on Rotary Youth Exchange while Paula was here in Port Hope.
On Monday at Rotary, Paula and Daniel told the club about their lives in Brazil. Daniel is also very familiar with Canada since he spent a year on exchange in Fort Frances, Ontario, close to the Manitoba border. After catching up with club members, Paula and Daniel flew to New York on Tuesday for a few days before they will return to Brazil.
It was great to see Paula again, and to meet her husband, Daniel!
