Every year the Niagara Health Foundation hosts the Kids Ultimate Challenge as a fundraiser to help with their important programming in Niagara. The Kids Ultimate Challenge is a “Mud Run” type cross country event where kids get to race through obstacles at Burgoyne Woods Park to challenge themselves to finish! There were lots of great vendors and activities for the kids to participate in after the event was over, including our very own Port Dalhousie Lions Club BBQ where we helped provide nourishment for the competitors and their families. It was great to be a part of this incredible event, and more importantly to be able to sell out completely by the end of the event, raising $2,000 which has been donated to Niagara Health Foundation to support the Children’s Health Unit at Niagara Health and our local hospitals!
Olcott Lions Visit
The Port Dalhousie Lions has a special relationship with our sister club in Olcott, New York, and we were very happy to be able to share some time with them on June 12, 2024. A group of our Lions members took a bus to join the Olcott Lions meeting in fellowship and to share experiences with our friends south of the border. Thank you to the Olcott Lions for your hospitality and service!
Kids Ultimate Challenge BBQ
The Lions Club was on site on Saturday June 8 at Burgoyne Woods to support the Niagara Health Foundation and the Kids Ultimate Challenge! With over 1,000 kids registered it was a very busy day at the BBQ and the team was able to sell out completely by 1pm! All proceeds will go to the Niagara Health Foundation. Great job Lions!
Hospice Niagara Golf Tournament
The Port Dalhousie Lions Club was excited to be able to support Hospice Niagara at their golf tournament this year with two foursomes enjoying a great time on the golf course! Thanks to Hospice Niagara for the great tournament, Peninsula Lakes Golf Course for the great hospitality, and our incredible team of Lions golfers for a good showing on the links!

Spring Lakeshore Road Cleanup
Twice each year the Lions Club cleans up Main Street and Lakeshore Road from in front of our club building to Seventh Street as the proud sponsors of this section of Niagara Region Roadway. On Saturday May 18 we completed our spring cleanup and we were able to collect 8 bags of garbage to keep our roadway clear for the summer.
Thank You from Dalewood School
We received a lovely thank you video from the students at Dalewood School for our donation to help support their snack bin program to ensure that all of the children could learn with food in their stomach. Have a look:
