Statement from the Port Dover Lions Club,
There are some Community members questioning this clubs committment to events.
Yes the Lions chose not to work with the Halloween event organizers at the Community Center, for numerous reasons that will not be discussed publicly.
However Lions members worked the Bars as part of our agreement with Norfolk County. Other Lions members, on their own also volunteered.
There seems to also be a question of the amount that could have been fundraised for the HNC Hospice had the Lions participated more.
A 2026 update of Lions funds donated to the HN Community Hospice,
Port Dover Lions, $85,000
17 Clubs from A2 district, Haldimand Norfolk, Niagara, raised $550,000.00 with the help of the Lions Clubs International Foundation.
The Lions commitment of support for the much needed Hospice speaks for itself..
