Pancake Breakfast @ Rotary Hall, May 17, 2026
 
Thanks to everyone who came out to Rotary’s first community Pancake Breakfast of 2026!  Over 130 people enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast of buttermilk & vanilla pancakes with real maple syrup, scrambled eggs, pork sausages, seasoned hash browns, orange juice and coffee/tea, served by Rotarians and Friends of Rotary.  Rotary thanks our individual and corporate sponsors who generously donate product and money to help defray our costs of putting on these breakfast events, allowing us to return more of the proceeds back to the community of Northern Bruce Peninsula!   More photos from this latest community Pancake Breakfast event can be found under Pancake Breakfast photo albums. Our next community Pancake Breakfast will be held at Rotary Pavilion by Lion’s Head Beach on Sunday, July 5th, on the Canada Day holiday … Hope to see you there!
