About Us
The Orangeville Lions Club was proudly chartered on April 12, 1949. With twenty-one service minded men the club began by initiating school crossing guards in 1950. This was immediately followed up with bussing our youth to the Fergus swimming pool from 1951 until 1953. The club members rolled up their sleeves and constructed Orangeville’s first outdoor community pool in 1953.
Several of the existing members still have fond memories of the annual Lions Village Fair which began in 1950. Everyone enjoyed the Lions famous hotdogs with fried onions. The fair included many games of chance for all ages and several rides. The fair was held in June which signaled the end of another school year.
