Community Conversations is a monthly speaker series presented by the Rotary Club of Wasaga Beach, bringing residents together on the last Monday of every month (except June and December) to explore issues that matter most to our town — from youth development and community service to climate action, parenting, and
more.
Each event features a moderated panel of local experts or community voices, designed to spark dialogue, connection, and shared learning in a relaxed and accessible setting. Events are free to attend, family-welcoming, and rooted in Rotary’s mission to serve and uplift community life. Each presentation allows audience interaction through a question-and-answer session.
