Wood Recovery Project

Over the past few years firewood has become our largest fund raiser. All of the trees are donated by local home owners and contractors. When we get the call we cut the logs into rounds, its then taken to our firewood yard, where its split into firewood and from there delivered to local residence. The monies raised is then used in our Lions' supported charities.
Brass Recovery
Years ago the club was given the opportunity to extract brass from donated meters from our local municipalities. The club then decided to donate all of the proceeds to the local hospital towards the purchase of a GreenLight XPS Laser Therapy system for the management of male BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). All though it took many years of delays the system was finally purchased last summer at which time we donated $46,000 from the recovered brass. We will continue to recover brass for a future project.
Club Eyeglasses for Children Program
In co-operation with our local school district and optometrists, eye glasses are provided to elementary students of Central Saanich who require vision correction. For more information "Club Eyeglasses for Children Program".
