Join us for the 94th year of Canada and the United States of America celebrating peace between our countries. 
 
The Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park Association (WGIPPA) meets each year at the Peace Park Celebration, held this year in Kalispell. MT, on September 25-27, 2026, at the Red Lion Hotel, 2020 Main Street, Kalispell. MT 59901. A slate of marvelous speakers are scheduled to speak about everything from Tribal Whitebark Pine Restoration to Waterton Lakes and Glacier National Parks to Wolves in the International Peace Park. 
 
The event this year is graciously hosted by the Rotary Club of Kalispell Daybreak. Register online at https://www.watertonglacierpeacepark.com. Please make your hotel reservations directly with the hotel and mention the event for special rates. The Peace Park Celebration is open to all Rotarians. 
For our club's District Grant project this year we worked with the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation on two trail clearing projects. On July 18, six Kalispell Daybreak Rotarians and one Rotarian family member cleared approximately two miles of the Tunnel Creek Trail on the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. During the one-day project, the team removed 25 downed trees from the trail. From July 30 through August 5, five Daybreak Rotarians and four additional family members completed a six-day backcountry service project along Prairie Creek near Pretty Prairie Cabin. The team cleared approximately three miles of trail, removing 191 downed trees using hand tools, including handsaws. The group also completed hazardous fuels mitigation and vegetation clearing around the historic Pretty Prairie Forest Service cabin. Together, the two projects improved approximately five miles of trail and removed more than 215 downed trees, restoring access and improving safety for visitors to the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
May 16th was an EPIC DAY OF SERVICE for Montana Rotary and Kalispell Daybreak Rotary. We joined local partners to clean up the road and entrance into Glacier National Park in West Glacier. This work included brush clean up and beautification projects at the Park entrance from US Highway 2, and working from the Village under the train overpass and along the highway. Way to go Rotarians! This entrance will welcome millions of visitors to Glacier this year. 
Save the Date for Great Bear 2026 - Saturday, August 8th
Last year, residents and visitors enjoyed a fun summer afternoon and evening at an amazing venue. With sponsorship support from local businesses and private donors, the Rotary Great Bear Festival raises funds for local and global charitable projects. Your Flathead Valley Rotary Clubs are excited to present the 9th annual festival at the Wachholz Center at Flathead Valley Community College on August 8th, 2026. This venue allows us to grow the event in a beautiful setting and provide ample, easy access parking. We re-imagined the Great Bear Festival together with our community and grew it to new heights, making it more family-friendly and affordable! This incredible opportunity focuses on celebrating local culture, music, food, drink, and fun. It brings our community together with interactive activities for all ages.

The Flathead business community is known for its generosity to local causes. Rotary’s mission is Service Above Self. Together, we make a difference! To inquire about sponsorship opportunities for 2026, email kalispellnoonrotary@gmail.com.
