Joie De Vivre Yarmouth
The Spirit of l'Acadie runs deep in Nova Scotia!
Throughout the province, there are reminders of the intrepid French settlers who first claimed Nova Scotia as their home in the seventeenth century: the historical sites, the culture, the language, the music, the food and the crafts.
From the brightly painted houses and towering churches of the seaside villages to the quiet beauty of the masterfully created hooked rugs, Acadian culture infuses much of Nova Scotia with its vibrancy, jaunty rhythms and the romance of its history and language. (Source Nova Scotia.com)

Pride in Partnerships
The Rotary Club of Yarmouth - Since 1922
Through the years Yarmouth Rotary has supported many worthy projects in our area. Our work with crippled children dates back to the early years of the club along with numerous projects being completed over the years.
The founder Prescott Baker wasted no time advancing in the ranks of the Rotary and held the position of District Governor in 1924. The Yarmouth club has had 2 additional District Governors Curtis Mackay in 1937 and Lyman Jackson in 1993. The current District is comprised of Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland/Labrador and St. Pierre Miquelon consisting of 44 clubs and 1900 Rotarians. Worldwide Rotary has 1.2 million members in 163 countries. Over the past few years Rotary has contributed to numerous projects and members have given their time not only to raise funds for the various projects but also to deliver meals on wheels, which is one of our main projects. The club has donated $50,000 to the new Hospital expansion and committed $25,000 to the new Mariners Center. A Park project was started in 2000 with the Town donating the land at the top of Prospect St. and as the park progresses it will see trees planted annually. All of the funds raised within our community go back into our community as well as supporting International Projects.
