Lions Foundation 45th Anniversary Gala

In 2026, the Lions Foundation of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario proudly celebrates 45 years of changing lives. For more than four decades, we’ve stood alongside individuals and families during some of their most vulnerable moments, offering not just services but dignity, hope, and care. To honour this legacy and build toward a brighter future, we invite you to join us for a milestone event.

Set within the inspiring walls of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, this black-and-white formal evening will embrace the theme Masquerade Mystique — a tribute to the thousands behind the masks, whose faces may be unseen, yet whose generosity and care are not an act, but a way of life.
