Our Club has Two Names

In 1917 our Club was the first Rotary Club on Prince Edward Island. Its charter name is the Rotary Club of Charlottetown.

In later years our Club proudly sponsored others clubs on PEI:
  • Rotary Club of Summerside (1943)
  • Rotary Club of Charlottetown Hillsborough (1979)
  • Rotary Club of Montague (1985)
  • Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty (1987)
 
More lately, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty has sponsored the Rotary Club of Stratford (2003). The result of all this wonderful growth has been that Prince Edward Island now has three clubs all with "Rotary Club of Charlottetown" in their name.
 
In the modern age of rapid communication, we found this nomenclature has lead to confusion. So in 2005 our Club adopted the alternative business name, the "Charlottetown Rotary Club". Hopefully the other PEI Rotary clubs will follow suit.
