Calgary has been chosen as the host city for the Rotary International Convention in 2025 — a massive gathering expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors.
The annual meeting sees 20,000 to 40,000 members of the service club come together from more than 100 countries around the world.
"Calgary had stiff international competition for this convention, which makes it even more prestigious for Rotary to select Calgary," said Clark Grue, president and CEO of Meetings and Conventions Calgary.
"This is a huge win that will benefit our entire community."
Calgary was up against Singapore, Warsaw, Dubai, and Gothenburg
