Foothills Lions Club

Proudly serving Diamond Valley and the Foothills region through service, partnership, and compassion. As of 2025, we are honoured to host and lead beloved community traditions including Light-Up Diamond Valley and the New Year’s Eve Family Celebration, events previously organized by the Town. Our goal is to continue growing these celebrations into time-honoured favourites that bring families, businesses, and visitors together. We are also proud to support and sponsor other local initiatives that strengthen community spirit throughout the Foothills. Part of Lions International, our mission is to improve health and well-being, support those in need, and encourage peace and understanding. Being a Lion means being part of a compassionate community making a difference — locally and globally.

Something festive is coming to Diamond Valley. ✨

Planning is underway for two Foothills Lions community events we look forward to each year:

We’re excited to be working behind the scenes and will be sharing more details as plans come together.

Interested in supporting one or both events as a sponsor? Please email [email protected]. We’ll be in touch with sponsorship information once the details are ready.

More to come! 💙💛

Sometimes supporting the community looks like a fundraiser or a donation.

Other times, it looks like showing up with a grill and lending a hand. 💙💛

A few of our Foothills Lions members were happy to help out at Longview School’s Welcome Back Pancake Breakfast, including supplying the grill and pitching in where needed.

These are the kinds of moments we love. Not everything has to be a big project to make a difference. Sometimes it is simply having the people, equipment or extra hands available to help another community group make something happen.

And we can always use more people who want to be part of that.

What matters most isn’t a title, a business card or another networking opportunity. It is a willingness to show up, roll up your sleeves and help when there is work to be done.

If that sounds like your kind of volunteering, we would love to hear from you. www.foothillslionsclub.ca to learn more.

Thank you to Longview School for letting us be a small part of welcoming everyone back. We hope the students, families and staff have a great school year!

Not ready to say goodbye to summer yet? ☀️⛺

Labour Day weekend is almost here, and we have a limited number of spots available in both campgrounds.

Make Diamond Valley your home base for the long weekend. Camp, play a round at the Turner Valley Golf Club or Diamond Valley Disc Golf Course, bring your fishing gear down to the Sheep River, bike or walk the Friendship Trail and local pathway system, or head west for a day of hiking and exploring in Kananaskis.

And there’s another reason to make the most of this weekend.

The Dr. Lander Memorial Pool closes for the season after Labour Day weekend. With the Town still considering the future of the pool, this could potentially be its final weekend, making it an especially good time to get in one more swim and enjoy this longtime Diamond Valley summer tradition.

The spray park also wraps up for the season after the long weekend.

Camping doesn’t end with Labour Day though. Both Foothills Lions Club campgrounds remain open until Thanksgiving, so there is still plenty of time to plan a September stay.

🏕️ Limited Labour Day weekend spots remain: www.foothillslionsclub.ca/campground

🏊 Pool schedule and information: www.diamondvalley.town/pool

Come for the weekend or longer. Camp, golf, fish, bike, swim, explore, and squeeze a little more out of summer before it’s gone.

Close enough to commute, far enough to feel away.

Funding requests are coming back September 1. 💙💛

Throughout the year, the Foothills Lions Club is proud to support local organizations, youth programs and community initiatives that make a difference in Diamond Valley and the surrounding area.

If your group or organization has an upcoming project or need, watch our website and page for details as funding requests reopen this fall. Be sure to plan early.

Support like this is made possible because our community continues to support the Lions Club through our campgrounds, fundraisers, BBQs, Duck Derby and community events throughout the year.

Summer isn’t over yet. ☀️⛺

There is still time to book a stay in Diamond Valley and make the most of the last stretch of summer.

Stay at one of the Foothills Lions Club campgrounds and spend your days enjoying everything nearby. Cool off at the spray park or Dr. Lander Memorial Pool, play a round at the Turner Valley Golf Club or Diamond Valley Disc Golf Course, bring your fishing gear down to the Sheep River, or hop on your bike and explore the local trails and pathway system connecting both sides of Diamond Valley.

Want to venture a little farther? Kananaskis is just a short trip away, making Diamond Valley a great home base for a day trip to see the falls, head out for a hike, enjoy a scenic drive, or spend the day exploring before coming back to camp.

The spray park and Dr. Lander Memorial Pool are scheduled through September 7, giving you one more reason to plan a late-summer stay.

And the campgrounds don’t close when summer does. Both remain open until Thanksgiving.

Community doesn’t happen by accident.

It is built by the people who show up early, stay late, lend a hand, sell tickets, cook breakfast, help at events, support their neighbours and quietly do the jobs that keep local traditions going.

We see it at our own events, and we see it in the organizations, volunteers and residents we work alongside throughout the year.

The Foothills Lions Club is grateful to be part of a community where kindness and volunteerism still matter. 💙💛

Who is someone or a group in our community who deserves a little recognition?

Tag them below and help us say thank you.

Have you booked one more getaway yet?

School and fall routines may be returning, but camping season is far from over. The Foothills Lions Club campgrounds are open until Thanksgiving, giving you plenty of time for a weekend away, a midweek break, or a few extra days in Diamond Valley.

Bring the bikes and explore the local pathway system, including the Friendship Trail connecting both sides of Diamond Valley. Spend some time fishing along the nearby Sheep River, play a round at the Turner Valley Golf Club or Diamond Valley Disc Golf Course, or use your campsite as a home base for a day trip
into Kananaskis.

Close enough to commute to Calgary. Far enough to feel away.
