2025-26 CHILDHOOD CANCER PROJECT:  Our Committee continues to work with the PRHC Foundation and Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) satellite Pediatric Cancer Centre. 

In October 2024, Districts A3 and A16 Clubs launched a campaign to raise funds for the PRHC expansion of the Pediatric Cancer Cancer Centre.  In July 2025, 21 Clubs from Districts A3 & A16 supported the expansion of the PRHC Pediatric Cancer Care Centre and donated a grand total of $129,511.34, well over the initial goal of $100,000.00.  Thank you to all our Clubs and donors - It was a lot of hard work and hours spent but everyone worked together to raise the funds.  In December 2025, we received great news - the final total all our Lions Clubs raised was $144,961.54 towards the expansion of the Pediatri Cancer Care Centre.  District Chairs Lion Lydia Elliott from A3 and Lion Christina Weerdenburg from A16 were granted a tour of the current facility which is down to 2 treatment rooms.  This expansion which is badly needed will allow PRHC Pediatric Cancer team the ability to treat more patients as the numbers in Childhood Cancer are on the rise.  GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
