Dr. Roger Jackson is an Olympic gold medalist rower, having competed in three Olympic Games. He was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Physical Education (now Kinesiology) in 1978 and was responsible for creating the modern complex, graduate and research programs that we know today. In 1988 Roger created the Sport Medicine Centre at the University of Calgary as its Founding Director.
He has served as President of the Canadian Olympic Association in addition to several other roles in the Olympic Movement for 40 years, including for 10 years as a leader of the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. Dr. Jackson created and led the very successful “Own the Podium” program that prepared Canada’s athletes for the 2010 Vancouver Games, where they won a record 14 Gold Medals. He also served as a senior adviser to the successful London 2012 Olympic Games bid and the recent Tokyo bid.

The goal of the Rotary-Bethany partnership is to build a foundation for enduring success in senior's health through a community-based, campus of care approach that can become the standard for future development of care centre communities. Rotary has partnered with Bethany to fill a gap in Calgary's senior and dementia care facilities to create The Atrium . The Atrium, a year-round indoor green space, will provide an area for Bethany residents, family, staff, volunteers, community visitors and Rotarians to gather and engage with each other. The Atrium will be one of the main features at Bethany Riverview, located in the heart of Calgary’s newest dementia care facility. Learn more about the project at this week's meeting or check out their website at ouratrium.com/theconcept/
