The Heritage Lions Club hosted its 19th Annual Effective Speaking Contest at Ark Christian Community Church in Markham. The event brought together 35 student contestants, who demonstrated outstanding communication skills, thoughtful perspectives, and confidence through their speeches.

This year’s contest also marked an important milestone with the introduction of a French division, providing additional opportunities for students to showcase their public speaking abilities in both English and French.

The contest continues to serve as a meaningful platform for youth to develop confidence, critical thinking, and effective communication skills.  The Club would like to extend its sincere appreciation to the parents, educators, judges, volunteers, and Lions whose support and contributions made the event possible. Their commitment helps ensure the continued success of this program in encouraging and empowering young leaders in our community.

The Ontario York Region Heritage Lions Club held the Lunar New Year Fair on Feb 14th and 15th, 2026 at Langham Square in Markham.  There were over 20 booths from various organizations, artisans and local businesses in the fair.  Performances from wide range of performers carried on through out the two days of event.  Thank you to all the sponsors, vendors, performers and volunteers.  It was a cheerful weekend the Heritage Lions celebrate the festive season with the local community.

The Lions Foundation of Canada is calling on the public to raise $5 million by October toward the Difference Campaign for the development of the new training facility.  

You can support the Difference campaign by donating directly to the LFC website.
