Mayor Joanne Vanderheyden and Strathroy Rotary Club President Fraser Macdonald officially kick off the All Wheels Park project to be located at the Fair Grounds. The Strathroy Rotary Club has committed $200,000 towards the project. Work is expected to start next summer with completion in early fall.
As a global network that strives to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, colour, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
Rotary cultivates a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in which people from underrepresented groups have greater opportunities to participate as members and leaders.
 | Strathroy Rotary has teamed up with the St. Clair Conservation Authority to fund this project to redirect the run off and fix the berm erosion so bikes can safely go up and down. Pictured here are the repairs made next to the wooden stairs. |
 | Rotary also collaborated with the Municipality and a private donor to help finance the cost of the trail repair that was requiring branches being trimmed back and new chip dust being laid along a privately owned farm field. |
 | Admiring another successful collaborative project! Pictured here from the left; Rob Lilbourne - Strathroy-Caradoc Parks & Recreation Greg Wilcox - St. Clair Conservation Authority Art Kaster - Strathroy Rotary Club. Thanks everyone! |

The Rotary Club of Strathroy Memorial Trail is just steps away from our downtown area. It meanders through the municipality allowing those taking advantage of it to enjoy nature at it’s best.
The trail, on the south and north ends of Strathroy, connects with the Conservation Authority's trail system creating a city-wide public trail system. The trail begins just east of the corner of Albert St. and Carrie St, and extends all the way through town, continuing through the Conservation Area and up to Second Street.
