Comprised of individuals who have adopted Rotary International's theme of Service Above Self, the Club has been able to amass a long list of activities and programs to enhance the lives of the residents of Ancaster. Joint sponsors of the Rotary Centre at the Ancaster Community Centre, the Club is making a contribution to the future well being of the Ancaster community. The Rotary Centre was built by the Town of Ancaster and now is operated by the City of Hamilton Parks and Recreation Department.

As sponsor for the Water For Life Project in the Artibonite Valley in Haiti, this Ancaster based group of volunteers has been able to impact the lives of thousands of people.
