Outdoor Classroom
In the Fall of 2013, the Principal of the new Stirling Public School talked with Stirling Rotarians regarding the possibility of assisting in the building of an Outdoor Classroom at the school. The school had plans that had been prepared but were looking for outside assistance in order to make their dream come true.

Community Cupboard On-Line Auction
The Rotary Club of Stirling was approached by the the Community Cupboard/Food bank several years ago, to assist them with their Christmas baskets. At the time is was understood that year there were 75 families locally needing help. We were shocked that our little village had so many families needing help so we offered to put together an online auction to raise the funds. Rotarian Terry Vollum has been a huge help gathering items and more recently Beckie Sarles-Davis has also joined the team. The first year we may have only had 25 items and it has grown to almost 100 this year. All the items are donated by generous local business owners and Rotarians.

Full Steam Ahead
In the year 2002, the Rotary Club of Stirling was searching for its next worthwhile community project. Following their weekly meeting, the members of the club walked over to the old Stirling Railway Station which sat neglected in an isolated spot, midway between Highway 14 and the Campbellford Road. It was built in 1879 and had become a boarded up, derelict building on a collapsing foundation.
