The Interact Conference was well attended at the Oakville Trafalgar High School on April 11, 2026. Honoured guest Susanne Zbibden, 7080 District Governor gave an inspirational speech on volunteerism.
9 high schools participated in the Grant Writing program GWi, over 10k will be distributed to charities serving community needs, through the efforts of interact teams.
The interactors fundraised for their charities by collecting food, clothing, diapers, school supplies, etc. as well as submitting a grant application to the competition to support their charity needs, while honing their writing, leadership and team building skills.
Rotary Club of Mississauga supported the Rick Hansen SS Interact team raising $1000 to fight food insecurity in partnership with Food Banks Mississauga.
