The 5 Rotary Clubs, Rotaract Club and Interact Clubs that call Lethbridge home joined forces in the Whoop-Up Days Parade on August 21, 2018. 2018 is the 100th aniversary of Rotary in Lethbridge and this was one way to let the community know our story. The Rotary float looked great and several Rotarians took turns pushing and spinning the float down the street. Rotarians and other volunteers handed out 3,000 colouring books to youth. The colouring books highlighted 100 years of Rotary involvement in Lethbridge.
