We Serve


Lions Clubs International
District A-16

   Welcome to our District's web site.

   District A-16 is located in Ontario, Canada and came into existence on July 1, 1976.

   Our first District Governor was Lion Ray Finney from Lindsay. Our current District Governor is Lion Dick Peel from the Markham Lions Club.

   Our District has 50 Lions Clubs. We are also proud to have 13 Lioness Clubs as part of our Lions Family.

A message from Governor Dick




   Last year's International President, Jimmy Ross, called for a paradigm shift on how Lions Clubs International needed to organize and operate to meet the challenges of the ever-changing future demands of society. Through his leadership many improvements and cost saving were made possible in LCI Headquarters operation which, together with introduction of several new membership initiatives, resulted in significant membership growth and retention in several areas of the world.

   As a continuation of this move into the twenty first century this year's International President, Mehendra Amarasuria, is now asking all Lions to work together, under the "Challenge to Change" banner, to seek how best to re-brand our organization so as to enable further expansion of our capabilities to service both local communities and society as a whole

   As a District we are fortunate to have started this process of change two years ago when the then MERL team designed and initiated a 3 year program for membership growth and retention - however we must be continually prepared to revisit how we operate at all levels in the organization with a view to revising those situations that no longer meet either the needs of those we serve or those of both present and potential new members. This coming year the MERLO Team will be tasked with updating the 3-year plan with a focus on several areas such as Membership Retention, Extension and Publicity.

   As your Governor I challenge the Lions of A-16 to help further expand our ability to fulfill the goals of our motto 'We Serve' by chartering two new clubs and growing total District membership by 140 by July 2008. I believe each and every Lion in A-16 is a leader with the skills and talent necessary to help our organization grow to it's full potential - we now need to call on each other as equals to build those teams necessary to put plans into action.

   Last, but not least, remember that all work and no play makes for unhappy people, so make sure you bring fun and laughter into everything you do each day.
