On Saturday morning, Rotaryfest brought a carnival to Queen Street, infusing energy and a spirit of community into the thousands of families and neighbours who lined the street to join in the revelry. There in the midst of this raucous celebration was the Essar Spirit – Live on Queen, moving to the beat of Four Way Stop, a talented team of musicians featuring Essar’s very own Jim Scali, and friends Rick Rogers, Nick Scali and Bob Yeomans. Thanks to the talents of our employees, this year’s entry staged an array of Caribanna-style costumes and musical accessories. Leading the charge were our saxophone toting Jazz Fish, swaying to the tunes of Jimmy Buffet and dodging the spray from our fun loving children who helped to keep the crowd cool with their super soakers. Our spirited team of employees and their offspring were so engaged with the crowd they could easily have kept on going down Queen Street all the way to the Plant gates!
Special thanks to the judges who saw it fit to honour our entry with First Prize Professional. Looking back at the array of photo galleries and video footage from the parade you can’t help but feel the community spirit this event spawns. We were among friends and we have RotaryFest to thank for the experience.
Kudos to the Rotarians who led the charge and brought this community together in celebration, and to the many who lent a hand along the way – we are indebted. Thanks for the memories.
