District Governor

2024-2025 District Governor Peter Tonge
Welcome to the 2024-25 Rotary Year!
 
Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick’s theme for the year is "The Magic of Rotary." As she put it: “There’s magic as people unite to create sustainable change. Those actions have global, community, and personal impact.”
 
I am excited to meet those of you I have not met and to support your work as I travel around the District. Working together, we can create the magic of change in our communities. Who knows? With your help, I might even create a little magic of my own!
To follow my activities around the District and to learn about the amazing people I meet, please visit my website:

Last year the District replaced the  Assistant District Governor positions with the District Leadership Team. The DLT consists of eleven senior Rotarians from across the District. The team has two roles: to support the District Governor and more importantly, to support all clubs in the District.
 
Let me emphasize the second point. Each club has a team of experienced Rotarians to provide support, direction, and advice. Need help starting a fundraiser, conducting a community consultation or using social media better? The DLT is available to help.
 
Meet the Team:
District Governor, Peter Tonge (Winnipeg Charleswood)
District Governor Elect, Wayne Jacobsen (Neepawa)
District Governor Nominee, Warren Thompson (Winnipeg Assiniboine)
Past District Governor, Sonja Susut (Moosejaw Wakamow)
Past District Governor, Fred Wright (Kenora)
Past District Governor, Gailmarie Anderson (Melfort)
Foundation Chair Bob Durston (Neepawa)
Rob Tisdale (Winnipeg)
Ruth Merritt (Saskatoon)
Ian Yeats (Regina)
 
I want to highlight two important events coming up this year. The District 5550 conference will be held on May 9-10, 2025. This affordable virtual event will bring Rotary speakers from around the world, providing many of you with the opportunity to attend the global Rotary convention taking place on June 21-25 in Calgary.
 
I am always happy to hear from you. You can contact me via my website or by email.
 
Let’s work together to create some Rotary magic!
