Anup Singh Jubbal (July 19, 1935 - August 28, 2021) was born in Lucknow, India and immigrated to Canada in 1968, where he initially resided in Kamloops, British Columbia before relocating to the Greater Vancouver area in 1986. Jubbal was a businessman, community activist and the Founder, President, and CEO of Canadian Eyesight Global, an organization committed to prevent blindness among impoverished citizens in rural India. After joining the Rotary Club of Burnaby-Hastings in 1986, Jubbal soon became Chairman of the Rotary's International Service Committee. He served two terms as President of Rotary Club of Burnaby-Hasting (1997 and 2001). He was the driving force behind two very successful Rotary fund-raising activities – the 1988 International Polio Plus Project, which notably raised large sums of money for the immunization of children around the world; and the 1989 Rotary Project Eyesight-India, which funded cataract operations for India's poor rural residents. Jubbal has been a recipient of numerous recognitions and awards, including, the Meritorious Service Medal in 1997, presented by Roméo LeBlanc, Governor General of Canada, and the Indo-Canadian Chamber of Commerce Humanitarian Award in 1998, presented by Paul Martin, Federal Minister of Finance, Canada.
