Rotary Christmas Carol Sing history and revival in Port Arthur
This history traces Port Arthur Rotarys Christmas Cheer Fund beginnings in 1924 and early events such as tree lightings, carol services, and annual fundraisers. It notes key organizers, venues like Gore Park Armouries and St Pauls United, community leaders, and the shift to virtual carols during the 2020 pandemic with proceeds to the Christmas Cheer Fund. The Fort William Rotary Club continues the Carol Sing tradition with a 2024 event at St Pauls Anglican Church.
