The Saint John Lions Club is a volunteer service organization dedicated to supporting the community through fundraising events, charity initiatives, and local service projects. Their efforts include community events, food box deliveries at Christmas, eyeglass collection programs, and providing their hall to support local non-profit organizations.

Saint John Boys & Girls Club

In 1929, the Boys’ Club Federation of Canada was officially established by Vernon McAdam, the first National Executive Director. In 1947, the organization was renamed Boys’ Clubs of Canada, and a year later was recognized by the Canadian government as a national nonprofit. In 1974, to reflect the growing number of young girls participating in Club programs, the organization changed its name to “Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada”.
