Lions
Club,
has
proudly
been
serving
Prince,

and
Port
Edward
and
the

area.
At
one
point
in
time
there
were
three
Lions
Clubs
running
two
in
Prince
Rupert
and
one
in
Port,
Edward,
Now,
60
years
is
a
long
time
for
any
organization,
but
with
the
ever
shrinking
membership
on
local
volunteer
and
in
local
volunteer
and
Service
Groups.
This
is
a
pretty
darn
good
record
and
one
that
should
be
celebrated.
A
During
their
extended
history.
The
Lions
Club
have
met
in
various
locations

the
old
kin.

have
no
idea

my
time
in
Rupert
to
the
Via
Rail
Station
to
their
current
location,
on
Fraser
Street
in

others.
What
has
remained
the
same
is
their
commitment
to
the
community
of
Prince
Rupert
annually.
The
club
raises
approximately
sixty
thousand
dollars
from
fundraising
efforts.
Almost
all
of
the
money
raised
by
our
local
Lions
Club
goes
to
support
local
charities
and
organizations.
