About Rotary Club of Lions Gate
The Rotary Club of Lions Gate was founded in 1978, now 40 Years ago. Over this period, our Club has become a strong member based North Shore and often International community support organization, with its membership efforts and financial support.
Our Club is primarily known for its 30 year (TBC) organization of the Canada Day daytime event at Waterfront Park and its leadership (with other Rotary Clubs) of the annual Operation Red Nose, drive home with safety, the month before Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
