Back in 2017, our club noticed that the stairs leading up from the street to Grandview Extended Care were in pretty rough shape. They had deteriorated to the point where they were unsafe and essentially unusable.
Our club came up with a practical solution. Rotary volunteers built a new wooden staircase over the existing stairs, creating a safe and accessible route for residents, families, staff, and visitors.
Since then, this has become one of those projects that quietly demonstrates what Rotary is all about. Every couple of years, our members return to maintain the staircase, making sure it remains safe, sturdy, and looking its best.
This week, our crew is back at it again! We’ll be repainting the stairs and giving them some much-needed TLC.
It’s also a great reminder that service doesn’t always have to mean a big project or a big cheque. Sometimes it’s simply seeing something that needs to be done, coming up with a solution, and continuing to show up year after year to keep it going.
Another great example of Service Above Self in action!
