Legal Lions Club

WE SERVE. That’s the motto of Lions Clubs International and a principle that the Legal Lions Club puts into action. Even during a pandemic, Lions Clubs all over the world have continued to meet and provide service in their communities. The Legal Lions Club has continued to meet once a month. Meetings have been largely virtual, via Zoom, but recently we were able to celebrate with a BBQ for the club members, friends, and family.

Over the last year, the Legal Lions Club has:

•  installed the Big Yellow Chair in Legal;
• done Highway Cleanup;
• maintained and improved our parks in Legal;
• assisted in the Legal Remembrance Day Ceremony;
• held a Plant Swap;
• collected clothing and food for our Share the Warmth campaign;
• held a PetValu Virtual Walk for Dog Guides/Guide Dogs;
• awarded a scholarship to a post-secondary student;
• collected eyeglasses to be recycled and reused, and
• provided cash donations to various charities including Kids With Cancer Society, Legal School Nutrition Program, Camp He Ho Ha, and the Gibbons Family Resource Centre.

Our main fundraisers over the last year have been quarterly meat raffles and a Christmas Tree Sale. We also were able to complete a casino. Over the last 10 years, the Legal Lions Club has raised and donated over $115,000 to our community.

 On October 18, 2021, Legal Lions Club celebrated 45 years of service! That’s over 4 decades and almost half a century. Thank you to all the Legal Lions Club members who came before us that made this possible!

At the heart of Lions Clubs there is one constant: service. Giving your time and energy to others is a fantastic way to help your community, and can have a positive impact in your life and how you approach the world.

We are looking for like-minded people to join us. Anyone can come to a meeting to see what we are all about, or join us on a service project. You can try us out! We are also interested in hearing from you if you have an idea for a service project. You can contact us through our social media or by emailing admin@legal-lions.org.
