We Serve
Lion Hedi and her canine vision dog Tinky were manning the table at the Lions Club Information Booth held at the Station Mall in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. An important part of Lions nowadays is to get the word out about Lions and our projects that we do. Lion Hedi got to educate people about canine vision and the great work that the Lions do. Good work Sault Ste. Marie Lions.
The Whitefish Lions have had a long time relationship with R.H. Murray Public School. As part of the collaboration between the groups, the students from grade 7 & 8 joined the Lions to pick up garbage along almost 2 miles of roadway. Thank you to Principal Chris Bourre and R.H. Murray Public School and all who assisted! We want to thank also the City of Greater Sudbury for providing us with the bags, safety apparel and picking up the full garbage bags, Leuschen’s Transport for providing the school bus and Christine Giblin for driving the bus.
The Lions are coming out of hibernation. Many of our Clubs have not been meeting in person due to the pandemic and the age of our members. Well, Powasson Lions held a pancake breakfast to celebrate after a long hiatus. Not only pancakes were on the menu, so was bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, toast, juice and in case you ate too much, coffee to wake you up. The community came out to support their Lions and everyone enjoyed getting together once again.
The Minnow Lake Lions club obtained a grant for the City of Sudbury to build garden beds. This is part of a community initiative open to all organizations that wish to take part. Minnow Lake Lions Club got enough supplies to build 8 elevated garden beds. Members started in early May to build the beds. After the prototype was constructed, the rest quickly were built. Next came the soil and planting. It took approximately 100 hours to do all the hard work. Now with a little help from Mother Nature and club members, we hope to have a bumper crop to help our even more people. Who knew we had so many “green thumbs” in our club.
It’s that time of year again. Co-vid restrictions have been loosened and everyone is out cleaning the streets. The Valey East Lions Club did their road blitz and park clean up. “A GIANT ROAR goes out to the Valley East Lions Club members who volunteered their time to the Greater City of Sudbury Roadside Clean Up BLITZ and Lions Park Clean UP!! Missing in the picture are Lion Gerry and Lion Jean. I wonder if they got “bagged” by mistake.
