Text detailing the energy crisis in Ukraine occupies the foreground, while images of damaged infrastructure and people working are positioned in the background.

In 2024, we have joined with the Municipality of Prince Edward to work on projects as part of their Friendship Agreement with the City of Krasyliv, Ukraine. As the Sponsoring Organization and Chair of the Prince Edward County Friendship City Working Group (WG), we have been working on a solution to an urgent request from Mayor of Krasyliv, Ukraine, Nila Ostrovska, about obtaining small generators for use in schools and shelters ahead of the winter months. The Krasyliv region of 29,000 people has 39 schools who regularly conduct classes in bomb shelters with minimal power supply. The urgency of this need was highlighted by Russian drone and missile strikes in western Ukraine October 15, 2026. The main target was the city of Rivne which is a main source of power generation for the region. Krasyliv is 170 km south of Rivne and lost power for a considerable amount of time due to these strikes. We  discovered that Rotary had several projects that are providing power supply solutions for the citizens of this stricken country. In cooperation with the Rotary Intercountry Committee (ICC) Canada-Ukraine and ICC Sweden-Ukraine, we can order small generators for direct delivery to Krasyliv. The Rotary Club of Picton is contributing $5000 to this campaign. We hope the community can get us to the goal quickly. The campaign will be on going as the need never seems to end. We will continued to purchase and ship generators as the funds become available.
