Be a part of history and celebrate the 100th Rotary convention, which will take place in Birmingham, the heart of England!

I f you haven’t been back to Birmingham since the 1984 convention, you may not recognize this former industrial town. Now a lively canal city known for its outstanding shopping and dining, Birmingham — or Brum, as the natives call it — underwent a dramatic facelift in the 1990s. The transformation resulted in a modern, more pedestrian-friendly city that retains traces of its medieval and Industrial Age roots.

On Saturday, former Ontario Premier William Davis is the keynote luncheon speaker. Dr Jean Clinton is the keynote speaker at the Governor’s Dinner. Entertainment is provided throughout the day by Red Spirit, The Ault Sisters and Men to Boys.
