Paul Harris Fellow honour History
The Paul Harris Fellow honour was named for the founder of Rotary.   It is the highest honour a Rotary Club can bestow upon a person, either inside the club or in the broader community.  It thanks and acknowledges “SERVICE ABOVE SELF” which an individual or organization has offered to their community, their nation, or the world.
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute or have contributions made in their name of $1,000 US to the Rotary Foundation.  These funds are used to support Rotary Grants for projects in our local community and around the world including the End Polio Now campaign.  Do Good in the World.

Bicycle Repair Stations
The first two Arnprior Rotary Bicycle Repair Stations were installed in Arnprior in 2021 when COVID -19 restrictions loomed large and Arnprior Rotary sought to encourage the use of the Millennium Trails project we gave the town in 2000.  We strove to encourage improve physical and mental health of our neighbors.  They were installed at the Madawaska Bridge and on the Algonquin Trail.

In 2024 Arnprior Rotary added an additional station at the McNab-Braeside Townhall - Murray Yantha Community Hall to enhance the previous environmental tree planting project we successfully completed there and encourage residents to use the adjacent recreational trails.
