2025 Rotary Integrity Award

Yesterday I learned that I had been awarded a 2025 Rotary Integrity Award, along with a Paul Harris Fellowship and a donation to the charity of my choice.

I gather this is a pretty big deal in the Rotary world, recognizing "Core values of Service, Diversity, Leadership, Fellowship and Integrity".

I am humbled and very grateful to my friend John Yamamoto of the Edmonton Downtown Rotary Club for nominating me.  

Many thanks John and to the many friends and organizations with whom I have worked over the last almost half a century, thank you for knowledge gained, friends made, and opportunities to help realized!

Serving a large range of not-for-profits and government agencies over my lifetime has been a pleasure and a profound influence on my life and my family.  Thank you to my father Donald A. Gower for his example and courage.
