Wendy Huot, Owner of The Screening Room.

Kingston's only independent movie theatre.

Apr 14, 2026 7:15 AM

The Screening Room is a 3-screen independent movie theatre located in the heart of downtown Kingston, Ontario. Since 2011, the cinema has been locally owned & operated by Wendy Huot. She took over from Terry, who owned & ran the cinema for the 10 years prior. Dan Wannemacher founded and built the theatre in the mid-1990’s.

We last had Wendy speak to us pre-Covid. She’s back to tell us what’s happened in the movie landscape since then.

Acknowledgement of Territory
We are gathered on traditional Anishinaabe (An-ish(-in)-ah'-bay), Haudenosaunee (ho-den-o-sho'-nee) and Huron-Wendat Territory. We recognize these nations for their care and stewardship over these lands. We are grateful to be able to join together in Rotary Fellowship to learn, share knowledge, and live on these lands.
 
Speaker Thanks
Bread has been one of the staples of life throughout history and is seen in its many forms in all cultures. The breaking and sharing of bread is symbolic of life, peace, and the building of friendships. This loaf of bread is given to you as a symbol of our friendship and in thanks for sharing with us today.

Jun 13, 2026 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM
 

From Ryandale Transitional Housing

We’re excited to invite you to the Palmerston Neighbourhood BBQ!

📍 Address: 1056 Palmerston Crescent
 Date: June 13th
🕐 Time: 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM

This will be a BBQ potluck, so if you’re able to bring a side dish or dessert to share, that would be wonderful. We will be providing hotdogs, hamburgers, and drinks.

This is a rain or shine, clean and sober, family-friendly event, so bring the kids and come enjoy an afternoon of food, connection, and community!

Please RSVP to info@ryandale.ca.

This event is made possible through a generous grant from the Rotary Club of Cataraqui Kingston, and the United Way KFLA. We are incredibly grateful for their support in bringing the community together.

We hope to see you there!

Warm regards,

The Ryandale Team

Homes for Heroes Foundation

Jun 16, 2026 11:30 AM

Homes For Heroes’ tiny home village in Kingston is a place of community, camaraderie, and celebration.

Opened in June 2024, the Kingston Veterans’ Village was made possible through the support of all levels of government, national stakeholders, local businesses, social groups, and individuals across Canada. The local steering committee, led by Mark Hutchings, played an instrumental role in the success of this project.

The village’s design pays homage to Kingston’s beautiful architecture, featuring 20 tiny homes, a resource center, case manager offices, therapy rooms, community gardens, and outdoor recreation spaces.

Come and hear Travis speak about Homes for Heroes. Location TBA.

Almost Home is a home-away-from-home for families with ill or injured children, a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment in Kingston area hospitals.

Almost Home operates YGK Thrift, a clothing store. All proceeds support Almost Home.

Sayward Berry splits her time between the home and the thrift story so will give an overview of what the home means to families who stay there and the story of the thrift store that supports the home. In her own words:

I have worked for YGK Thrift and Almost Home for the last 4 years. While my role at YGK Thrift has changed over these past 4 years as I added working directly at Almost Home, the passion for what I do remains. I have always been a people-oriented person with an extensive background in retail management, but I have found my happiness working for a non-profit. The meaningful connections I have been able to make with both the community groups who we partner with and the customers who shop at the thrift store, is what drives me to make YGK Thrift the best possible shop it can be.

Rotary Reflection
For food in a world where many walk in hunger
For peace in a world where many walk in fear
For friends in a world where many walk alone
And for the opportunity to serve others through Rotary,
May we be truly thankful!
 
The Loyal Toast
Rotarians and guests, to the King, Canada, and all its Peoples
 
Acknowledgement of Territory
We are gathered on traditional Anishinaabe (An-ish(-in)-ah'-bay), Haudenosaunee (ho-den-o-sho'-nee) and Huron-Wendat Territory. We recognize these nations for their care and stewardship over these lands. We are grateful to be able to join together in Rotary Fellowship to learn, share knowledge, and live on these lands.
 
Speaker Thanks
Bread has been one of the staples of life throughout history and is seen in its many forms in all cultures. The breaking and sharing of bread is symbolic of life, peace, and the building of friendships. This loaf of bread is given to you as a symbol of our friendship and in thanks for sharing with us today.
