In the spirit of Reconciliation, we acknowledge that the land upon which we gather is unceded Mi’kmaq territory. Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island), Mi’kma’ki, is covered by the historic Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Mi’kmaq People who have occupied this Island for over 12,000 years; past, present and future.
Message from President Richard MacEwen (2026-2027)

Welcome, 

Rotary is a service organization consisting of over 1.5 million members whose main objective is to serve the local communities in which they live as well as around the globe.
 
The Rotary Club of Charlottetown was established in 1917 and has had a long history of supporting local and international projects. We are proud to support STRIVE Scholarship Program, Rotary Youth Parliament, the Dialysis Transportation Program, Rotary Food Hamper Program, Youth Exchange. Other club activities include Breakfast Programs at St. Jean and Prince Street School, the Soup Kitchen, Easter Seals PEI and the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Literacy Foundation. We are able to support our local communities and internationally through the success of our Rotary Radio Bingo Program every Tuesday evening at 7 pm on 95.1 FM CFCY. 
 
Richard has dedicated his career to serving the residents of Charlottetown through leadership in municipal government. He served as Manager of the Water and Sewer Utility, where he was responsible for overseeing essential public infrastructure and ensuring the reliable delivery of critical municipal services. More recently, he serves as Director of Community Services, providing leadership in enhancing programs, facilities, and services that contribute to the quality of life for residents.

In addition to his professional career, Richard has been an active member of Rotary for the past nine years, demonstrating a strong commitment to community service, volunteerism, and helping improve the lives of others. Their dedication to both public service and community involvement reflects a lifelong commitment to making Charlottetown a better place to live and work.
 

As President of the Rotary Club, Richard is proud to carry forward the mission of “Service Above Self.” His life’s work reflects this motto through a legacy of protecting, uplifting, and connecting the community. 

When he's not advocating for community initiatives or mentoring fellow Rotarians, you’ll likely find him  at the curling rink.

A big thank you to Rotarian, Najam Chishti, who has spearheaded this initiative. Every month Najam purchases the food items needed and delivers it to the Upper Room. The meal is then cooked by staff and Rotary volunteers help serve the meal along with dessert, milk, juice, tea, and coffee. The menu is always healthy and different everytime and has been much appreciated by the guests. From spaghetti and meatballs to parmesan chicken with pasta, the meals are always nutritious and delicious!
