It was designed in 1905 by Montague M. Bear, member of the Chicago Club, who was an engraver. Most of the early clubs adopted the wheel in one form or another. Eventually, in 1923 1922, authority was given to create and preserve an emblem for the exclusive use of all Rotarians. Accordingly, in 1923 the present gear wheel with 24 cogs and 6 spokes was adopted, and a keyway added to signify that the wheel was a “worker and not an idler.” Rotary Club of Nanaimo Formed Rotary became INTERNATIONAL with Nanaimo businessmen sat down with the formation of a club in Winnipeg, George Pearson in the Windsor Hotel at Manitoba, CANADA in 1911 and came to 7:00 pm. on April 30, 1920 to hold the first Nanaimo several years later. “The meeting of the Nanaimo Rotary Club.

High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society; Third. The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his or her personal, business, and community life; Fourth. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world of fellowship of business and professional men and women united in the ideal of service.

  • Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 1 June
    Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 1 June 2020 Dear Prime Minister, Please accept our support during these unprecedented times. As with all UK businesses, we are committed to ensuring that all possible efforts are made to save lives and tackle the current health crisis and resulting economic downturn. With the UK facing major economic and social concerns including the risk of high unemployment and rising regional inequality, we believe that an ambitious low carbon growth and environmental improvement agenda can do a lot to address these concerns, as well as make the UK economy better prepared to deal with future shocks such as those related to climate change. We are therefore writing to ask that the economic recovery plans you are developing align with the UK’s wider goals and deliver a clean, just recovery, that creates quality employment and builds a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient UK economy for the future. A wide range of input, from academic experts to city leaders to official advice, has shown measures that cut greenhouse gas emissions and stimulate the economy have the potential to be more effective in supporting jobs and economic growth whilst also supporting our long term climate goals and delivering better outcomes in other key areas of public interest, such as public health and wellbeing. In addition, investments in industries and projects such as building renovation, offshore wind, electric vehicles, environmental improvements and low carbon industrial clusters have the potential to bring investment and job creation across multiple regions of the UK. As businesses and business groups operating in the UK, we reaffirm our commitment to action on climate change and our determination to create a cleaner, competitive and inclusive UK economy.

    Nanaimo Harbour: Past, Present, and Future John Dunham Address to the Nanaimo Historical Society on May 23, 1967 Transcribed by Dalys Barney, Vancouver Island University Library June 9, 2017 [tape starts suddenly] Mr. Whalley Well, it gives me very great pleasure in introducing the speaker this evening. Because the speaker and myself were born within 20 miles of one another in England. So, that really is something. [laughter] Of course at different times. [laughter] But Mr. Dunham has done a lot of work on the, and he had a number of photographs of the harbour and his maps, which really most of us have examined. And I'm sure we're looking forward to a very instructive lecture this evening. I’d like to call on Mr. John Dunham. [applause] John Dunham Thank you very much Mr. Whalley. Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen, when I was asked to talk about Nanaimo harbour: past, present, and future, I had a few qualms. And these related back to when I first came to Canada, in that I used to think that nothing was old until it was at least two or three hundred years old. Then, as I, as we lived in Nanaimo a little more, I became aware of the fact that this area had started its own history within the last 100 or 110 years, and that these were things about which people were still talking, and not something gathering fungus, shall we say, in the archives in London, or something that was so old that all you could go by were records, and you couldn't really appreciate the truth in these records.

  • Acknowledgements
    Acknowledgements The history of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) reveals a dynamic account of professionalism, the unifying effort of many, and the motivation that drove the Board from its first day in 1951 through modernity. This narration endeavours to offer an objective viewpoint that unites documentation and individual recollection to tell the inspiring chronicle of the men and women who have joined forces in order to work towards a higher aim, a common vision. The history of VIREB reveals a philosophy of professionalism; its story is paralleled by the earned expertise of the real estate industry as a whole. It is with gratitude that the author recog- nizes those who were interviewed for the history as representatives of the evolving eras of the Board: Allan Armstrong, Pat Moore, Lloyd Wood, Reg Eaton, Ralph Walker, Bob Clarke, Gordon Blackhall, Jack Geisler, Dermot Murphy, Rick Evans (reflecting upon his Father Jack’s contribu- tion), Marty Douglas, Randy Forbes, and Donn Gardner. Their vast knowledge, strategic sense, and commitment to the industry are legendary and the history was not only told, but made with their help. While these Members and Associates have been instrumental in telling the story of the Board’s history they are not alone, countless Members stand equal in knowledge and commit- ment, and their actions are clearly recorded within the sixty years of Board Minutes. Above all, it is the Membership that directs the Board. It is that collective voice that has been the guiding force of VIREB; its history is the history of its Members. Supporting the Board Directors and Membership are the men and women that have orches- trated the business of the Board.
