The Orangeville Lions Club
Serving the community since 1949!
Our Story
Le Club Lions d'Orangeville a été fièrement créé le 12 avril 1949. Avec vingt et un hommes dévoués au service, le club a commencé par former des brigadiers scolaires en 1950. Cela a été immédiatement suivi par le transport en bus de nos jeunes à la piscine Fergus de 1951 à 1953. Les membres du club ont retroussé leurs manches et ont construit la première piscine communautaire extérieure d'Orangeville en 1953.
Plusieurs membres actuels gardent encore de bons souvenirs de la foire annuelle du village Lions qui a débuté en 1950. Tout le monde a dégusté les célèbres hot-dogs des Lions aux oignons frits. Everyone enjoyed the Lions famous hotdogs with fried onions. The fair included many games of chance for all ages and several rides. The fair was held in June which signaled the end of another school year.
"We’re the largest service club in the world with 1.4 million men and women guided by kindness to serve our communities and the world in times of need. "
