- Project Pride
-
Lions Project Pride is a program for Lions Clubs to express their pride in Canada and in being a Lion. Lions have the opportunity to instill pride in their community by presenting a Canadian flag (15.5cm x 25.5cm; 6” x 10”) and a certificate to grade one students. The flag presentation represents the diversity of our country and the pride we take in being Canadian. Over 40,000 flags are distributed every year across Canada.
For more information please download the Project Pride brochure and Project Pride order form or call 780-532-3027. A special thank you to PCC Lynne Coulter for managing this project.
