Talented Students 

All you hear.these days, is how bad teenagers are. Too busy on their phones, rude, and always in trouble.  The 3 groups of highschool students completing in the Battle of the Bands, were very pleasant, dedicated to their band, and with the end result is a well orchestrated 👍well fined tune band.  

The Merchant of Possums & Crimson Rose both bands are from St. Roch Catholic Secondary School.  School of Rock stems from students at a Music School  called, School of Rock located at 49 Queen St. Streetsville (Mississauga)

Sunday On Family Day

Sunday was a big improvement compared with Saturday, in the weather category. Sunday was ☁️ cloudy with a bit of drizzle. We had a more productive and fun 😀 day, a day devoted to Families.


Brampton Rotary Rib N Roll has been shut down for the remainder of Saturday due to the lousy raining weather. Sorry folks.

Making the Best of a Soggy Wet Saturday

Making the best of it in a situation that one can describe as being a total washout. For myself I accepted the challenge to do the best that I could. Hopefully, not to get sick try to make something out it.

Although we shut it down at 2:00 pm, and the Saturday pictures wasn't what we hoped for, I did managed to get something, and here they are.

Emcee - Michael Sharpe

The Rib N Roll would not be the same without Michael Sharpe. He reminds me of the many DJ's from the various Rock radio stations which includes CKGM & CHOM in Montreal. The Old  1050 CHUM Q107, and Brampton's own CFNY FM. He gets the crowd revved up and ready for some great Rock N Roll, along with being passionate about the cause of raising money for children's charities. Way to go Michael.

More Rotary Members & Volunteers

A truly group of dedicated individuals who give up their weekend to help in this wonderful event.
