Greetings Division 2/3,
My name is Deepika Sree Ramkumar (I go by Deepika) and I am exhilarated to serve as the Lieutenant Governor of Division 2/3 this service year. I am currently in grade 11, attending Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute. I first joined Key Club in Grade 9 for the volunteering hours, however, after 2 years of participating in my school’s Key Club, I realized what Key Club was truly about and wanted to explore all of its possibilities! I enjoy teaching and doing dance, I was also a part of my school’s art council. One goal that I have for this service year is to break the stigma around service that it is all about getting enough volunteering hours to graduate! As I realized throughout my Key Club journey that service has more meaning than I assumed, I hope to inspire all of your key clubbers to understand the meaning of service and the core values of Key Club, so that they can continue to become great citizens even after high school! Another goal of mine is to increase member engagement and retention by increasing the communication across the clubs in this division and introducing district-wide service projects! Especially during these unprecedented times, I hope to ensure that we all become one, to tackle any barriers that we face so that we can help each other to thrive this service year and I will always be there for you all! |
HistoryDivisions 2 and 3 were combined and formed Division ⅔ in 2020. This is the newest division in the ECD Key Club District. There are around 10 total clubs in the division, spanning from as far South-West as Ridgetown, all the way to Kitchener/Waterloo, and as far North as Sarnia, and all the spaces in between. It is the biggest division in terms of geographical area in all of Eastern Canada! Driving, it would take upwards of 3 hours to travel from the Western end of the Division to the Eastern end! In all clubs combined, there are more than 70 confirmed members! Even though our division is pretty small in numbers, we have some pretty notable alumni. The 2019-2020 Eastern Canada Key Club Governor Hannah Zimagrodzki, and 2020-2021 Eastern Canada Circle K Governor Deanna Fisher are alumni from D2/3. Way to represent the division! Division 2/3 is all about leading big change in small communities!

BLM Educational Club
2 of the division’s clubs, Great Lakes Secondary School and Virtual Learn at Home Secondary School, have partnered up to open a BLM discussion group that intends to combat the racism in their schools and communities, where they post thought-provoking videos on their google classroom that allows for great discussion every other Monday and hold meetings all the other Mondays! This initiative allows for members to be a part of a virtual forum where they can advocate for, or learn more about social issues by taking part in healthy discussions.

Colouring ContestGreat Lakes Secondary School conducts colouring contests in their Key Club and chooses winners from each grade who receive an incentive. After the competition, they send all the completed pieces to places that may need them the most, especially during these unprecedented times. For Easter, they gave their coloured sheets to a program called Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers affordable and healthy food to those who are in need of food to eat when they cannot make it for themselves. For St. Patrick’s Day, they plan to send off their coloured sheet to a local nursing home for senior residents. |
