Donation to YMCA Winter Camp
The YMCA in Niagara offers kids a fun and engaging winter camp experience during their school break. Unfortunately many deserving kids can’t afford to go to the camp and have that experience. The Port Dalhousie Lions Club is proud to be able to send at least 4 deserving children to camp this winter with our donation of $1,000 to this important program!
Spaghetti Night Supporting Community Care
The Port Dalhousie Lions Club would like to thank all of our loyal supporters who came out to our spaghetti night dinner last night (November 6) and who, together with our sponsors and supporters at the Niagara IceDogs and Dine Niagara (Dine Local) helped us raise almost $400 for Community Care along with a good pile of non-perishable food donations! Simply by bringing a non-perishable donation or making a cash donation at our spaghetti night, our supporters got the chance to go home with one of two gift baskets from Dine Local which included a local bottle of wine along with a $25 Dine Local Gift Card which can be used at over 50 restaurants in the Niagara Region (including the next Spaghetti night). Also, a special thanks to Alex Assadourian (C), Mathieu Paris (RW), and Andrei Loshko (RW) from the Niagara IceDogs who stopped by to help us serve! We’ll see you on Wednesday December 4 for the next edition of our Spaghetti Night and your next chance to “GIVE TO WIN”!

Victims of sexual assault find themselves at the worst point in their life, searching for answers and often struggling with the trauma of their assault which can change their life permanently. The Niagara Sexual Assault Centre operates across the Niagara Region providing emergency services for reporting, 24-hour crisis telephone supports, counselling services, and more to support victims of sexual assault in our community when they need it the most. The Port Dalhousie Lions Club is proud to be able to help them in their mission with a donation of $500.
