Navan, Ontario, Canada
Our small but vigorous club has been serving the community of Navan, near Ottawa, since 1952.
This is where to find out about the services we can provide, including support to other community organisations.
Most of our activities involve fundraising and giving the money to individuals in need or to larger causes.
More than 1.4 million Lions in over 200 countries are responding to local and global challenges with kindness and care.
Last year our golf tournament sold out with a full roster of 72 players and was our biggest fundraiser with over $12,000 donated to the Make a Wish Foundation and other charities.
We gratefully acknowledge Waste Connections of Canada as this year’s Title Sponsor
