FAMILY DAY SKATING
February 15th, 2026
Well another great Coboconk and District Lions Club annual family day skating event is in our history book. First a huge thank you to those who came out and made this event a success. Special mention must be given to Tim Hortons, in Coboconk, for donating the hot chocolate, John and Nathalie from the Sub and Sandwich Factory in Norland for the donation of freshly made chocolate chip cookies, the hard work of the Norland Community Centre volunteers for preparing the ice surface which was perfect, and finally our Lions members who work day in and day out to make our community a better place.
To everyone enjoy the rest of your family day weekend.

Salvation Army Kettle Drive
January 24th, 2026
Members of the Coboconk and District Lions Club, who assisted the Salvation Army with their 2025 kettle drive in the area, were invited to an appreciation luncheon. It was our first year, as a club, assisting with this annual fundraising endeavour.
The Salvation Army’s fundraising goal was $70,000, and with the assistance of many volunteers, who spent 100’s of hours manning their kettles, they came VERY close to reaching their goal. This would not have happened without the generosity of community members donating money to this annual endeavour.
Our Lions Club were more than happy to help, and to this end we were pleased to make a cash donation of $2500.00 to the 2025 campaign which enabled the Salvation Army to exceed their fundraising target.
Pictured here is Lion Bill Barber and Lion John Byrne presenting Captain Kaitlyn Young with the cheque.
