Our Club

The Kincardine & District Lions was chartered in June 1974, being sponsored by the Tiverton and District Lions Club. Membership varies with generally 65+ members including both men and women, one Charter member still active within the club - Lion Larry Bannerman. Since its Charter we estimate the Club's investment in the community to be in excess of two million dollars. The Club has been and is still very active within the community.
