June Grand Knight Message

Dear Brother Knights,
As we head into the warmer months, I want to take a moment to share some exciting updates, extend my gratitude, and look ahead at what’s coming up for our Council 5135.

Thank You for Your Support and Welcome to Our New Officers

First, thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me by re-electing me as Grand Knight. I’m honoured and excited to serve alongside a fantastic team of newly elected officers. (Our web site will be updated shortly with the full list.)

We still have a few roles to fill — specifically, Recorder, Trustee, Inside Guard, and Outside Guard.

If you’re interested or know a fellow Knight who might be a great fit, please reach out to me or any member of the executive. We’d be happy to explain the responsibilities and help you get involved.

Let’s Grow Our Brotherhood This Fall

Looking ahead to the fall, we’d love to hold recruitment events at our local parishes. New members bring fresh ideas and energy to our council, and we’d appreciate your help in introducing us to potential Knights. A simple introduction can make a big difference — let’s grow together!

Summer Hiatus – But the Work Continues

As in previous years, our general meetings will pause for June, July, and August, resuming in September. However, the executive team will continue to meet during the summer to plan for an active and meaningful fall season. Stay tuned!

Annual Golf Tournament – Tee Off for Charity

Mark your calendars! Our Annual Golf Tournament is coming up Sunday, August 17. It’s a great day of fun and fellowship, all while supporting worthy causes. This year’s tournament will benefit Pride Stables and KidsAbility. Details will be on the website but please contact the hall to get an application form (due by August 5th) — we hope to see many of you there!

Contact the hall for details, or visit our calendar to see more details. More updates will appear through the summer.

Stay Connected – Events & Calendar Reminders

Don’t forget to check out our calendar of monthly and special events on our website. From meetings to socials to community outreach, it’s the best way to stay in the loop.
Also, a reminder that Faith of Our Fathers continues to meet monthly. These gatherings are a meaningful opportunity to strengthen our spiritual bonds and grow together in faith.

Your Ideas Matter

Do you have a charity or project you believe the Knights should support? We’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to me or any board member — we’re always open to new ideas that align with our mission and values.

Wishing You a Safe & Joyful Summer

As we approach Canada Day, I want to wish each of you a safe, happy, and blessed long weekend. Enjoy the sunshine, the time with family and friends, and a well-deserved summer break.

Warm regards…

S.K. George Dube
