On August 17, 2026 the “Top 7 Over 70” award winners for 2026 were announced by United Way Guelph Wellington … and four are Rotarians! We send our warmest congratulations to our fellow Rotarians:
- Charlie Barnes - from Rotary Guelph South
- Anne Day - from Rotary Guelph Trillium, and currently Rotary-GW Assistant District Governor
- Liz Sandals - from Rotary Guelph
Jim Rooney - from Rotary Guelph
This Top 7 Over 70 award is being issued in Guelph Wellington for the first time in 2026, recognizing individuals who continue to make significant and lasting contributions to our community by defying age norms and demonstrating that passion, purpose and influence don't diminish with time. Their stories serve as a powerful reminder that it is never too late to get involved, give back, and create meaningful change. The awards will be presented at a gala event on October 29 at the Delta Hotel.
