Our Donation of a Nintendo Switch
to Uxbridge Hospital
April 24, 2025 - Uxbridge Hospital offers services for children through its Emergency Department, Community Health Clinics and by referring children who need specialized care to Markham Stouffville Hospital.
Recently our Uxbridge Lions Club was approached with a request from the hospital to donate a Nintendo Switch for children from Starlight Children's Foundation. It has its own WIFI and helps children in the hospital to stay in touch with family and friends, watch a favourite movie or check social media.
Through fundraising, we were able to purchase a unit as a donation to the Uxbridge Hospital.

December 7, 2024 - The Uxbridge Fire Fighters gifted the Uxbridge & District Lions with a donation of $1,456.75 towards Christmas Baskets Project.
The Uxbridge & District Lions have provided families in the Township with food and clothing for the parents and their children at Christmas for a number of years. Each Christmas basket contains an assortment of food items, clothing, gift cards, and special items, that were purchased from donations. Some of the items have been specifically tailored to the individual needs of the recipients.
We also thank “Friend of the Uxbridge Lions Club” supporter Greg Niarchos, the Uxbridge Zehrs general manager, for his continued personal support.
The Lions Club is always ready to provide a helping hand within our community, with various fundraising projects happening throughout the year. Our motto “We Serve” says it all. If you would like to know more about volunteering to work on some of these projects, please call 647-456-4942 for more information.
Thank you to Uxperience for their Generous Donation
The photo shows the Uxperience group presenting a cheque for $7000 toward the Lions Universal Accessible Playground, officially opened July 1, 2023. Our Club was selected to be the recipient for funds from this year's Uxperience "the Times". Local service groups and charities were asked in February to apply for funding in a brief application from Uxperience and do a presentation. We learned that we were selected following our presentation!! The cheque will go a long way to put a shade pergola at the front of the playground to allow sitting in the shade, out of the hot sun. We hope to recognize Uxperience! for their gift with a plaque attached to the pergola following its construction.
On March 14, 2024 Lion Jean Doucet accepted a Certificate of Appreciation of the Uxbridge Lions support for Diabetes Canada from Lion Hugh Adams.
Welcome our new member, Lion Betty Russell.
We are pleased to announce that our new member, Lion Betty Russell, was inducted into our club on Saturday, October 14th, 2023.
Congratulations, Betty!
