Our Community

Kindness in Action

The Lynn Valley Lions are active with many fundraising projects and events throughout the community. In addition to our Club’s initiatives, we also partner with other local community organizations to assist with their initiatives and programs.

One of those ventures is helping local elementary schools. Together with Save-On Foods, we hold a pancake breakfast or BBQ at the school – with all of the money raised going directly to supporting that school! We have many other groups that we help – some of them are list below.

We are always on the lookout for ways to help those in need in the community. If your organization requires assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

What Our Donors Around the World Are Saying

Mike WaltonPiper parent


“Thank you for the Lynn Valley Lions Scholarship for $500. I am starting at UBC next week doing applied biology, and this money will be very helpful in assisting to pay for my studies. I appreciate the generosity of the Lions Club to help further my education.”

“I would like to thank you for considering me for this scholarship. Like other students who are embarking into university next year, this can be a tough financial time for many. This is true for myself, which is why I can’t thank you enough for your contribution. Next year, I will be studying for my Bachelor of Business alongside playing soccer with the Capilano Blues! Since much of my time will be devoted to studying and training, I won’t have as much time to work and I cannot help my family mitigate the costs of university tuition for this year.”

“The Lynn Valley Lions Club provide financial support to the program directly.  This funding allows us to keep player’s fees reasonable and to subsidize any players who cannot afford to play.  We have used donations from the LVL to purchase new helmets which is a huge help.”

“On behalf of all the members of the Mount Seymour Lions Club, we wish to say a huge Thank You to you and all the other Lynn Valley Lions who helped us at the Canada Day breakfast. As we noted previously, we served over 800 breakfasts and netted just over $2900.
Our Club could not handle an event like this without the support of your Club.  Your assistance is truly appreciated and we look forward to reciprocating at the tree lot, Lynn Valley Days, etc.”
Al Cummings Event Co Chair, Mount Seymour Lions Club


“On behalf of everyone at SOS Children’s Village BC, I would like to thank you and the Lynn Valley Lions Club  for your past support of Parade of Trees. Last year, we were able to raise over $37,000 which helped community-based care services to improve and sustain the quality of life of foster children.
Your support is very much appreciated by everyone connected with SOS Children’s Village BC. It would be great to have the Lynn Valley Lions Club involved in the 18th Annual Parade of Trees event.”
