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.
