Region Lions Leadership Institute

District A5 made history recently. Normally the Leadership training course is held each year a MDA for the districts. One or two Lions from each district attend to learn more about Lionism and how to be a more effective leader. This year, District Governor Lion Carmen Portelance approached MDA with a different idea, to have a Regional Lions Leadership Institute by Zoom for the members of District A5. So for two Saturdays in April, Lions met by Zoom to learn more about becoming a leader and about each other. With attendance at 25 Lions from across Northern Ontario plus trainers, this was a very successful training session and a first for MDA. Thank you to PCC Tim Yeung and his team for putting this together.

Region 17 Rally

Another successful Region Rally for Region 17 in District A5. Given the area that A5 covers, it is not easy for all clubs even in a region to get together. I am proud to say that the Region Rallies are one exception. The rally was well attended at the Bonfield Lions Club . Clubs got to meet the candidates and get their pictures taken with our District Governor, Lion Carmen Portelance and the co-vid Lion. We also had several Past District Governor’s attend this meeting to support the clubs and the elections. Another very successful Rally held by Region 17.
