The Rotary Club of Sarnia Bluewaterland is in year two of a three year commitment with Habitat for Humanity Sarnia-Lambton. The commitment involves annual financial support of $5000 for each of the three years with the funds being directed entirely to the build activities. Club involvement includes build day activities on the site of a new home. The image above was taken upon completion of our first build day in Petrolia where our task was to install the siding on the home. It was a great day for the happy and tired Sarnia Bluewaterland Team. The neighbourhood knew our club was on site with our “Rotary at Work” signs and club banners.
