Navan Lions Club

Navan, Ontario, Canada

About Us

Our small but vigorous club has been serving the community of Navan, near Ottawa, since 1952.

Serving Our Community

This is where to find out about the services we can provide, including support to other community organisations.

Our Favorite Causes

Most of our activities involve fundraising and giving the money to individuals in need or to larger causes.

Fundraising

How do we do it, how much do we raise and where does it go?

Lions Worldwide

More than 1.4 million Lions in over 200 countries are responding to local and global challenges with kindness and care.

Coming Up

Mark your calendars for the following dates in 2024

FRIDAY DECEMBER 6 AND SATURDAY DECEMBER 7

 Navan Lions will again be holding the JERRY CALVER MEMORIAL BONSPIEL  at the Navan Curling Club. 

This bonspiel is a family-friendly event and is geared toward a MEDIUM skill level, but ALL skill levels are welcome. We have a  24-team limit so sign up today as this event sells out fast! Don’t forget to bring some money for our 50/50 and silent auction.

Cost is $320 per team.

You get Two (2) curling draws, Charcuterie board and light snacks and a catered sit-down dinner with a live band.

Curlers and visitors are encouraged to visit our silent auction downstairs in the Lions Den.

So, get your team together, dust off your slider and get ready to HURRY HARD!

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

If you are not able to participate in this amazing bonspiel, please consider sponsoring a team. A portion of the money raised will be directed to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Society with the remainder going to other worthy causes via the Navan Lions Club.     If you are interested in sponsoring a team, please reach out to Brian Moore at Navanlionsclub@gmail.com
