Esquimalt Lions Club - Lions e-Clubhouse

Club History

We received our Charter (007972) on 4 May 1951, sponsored by the Victoria Central Lions Club. Since then we have been involved in many community, regional, national and international projects.

Meetings

We usually meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM and go into recess for the summer months of July and August. However, due to the current COVID restrictions, we now meet virtually on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM via Zoom.

Meeting Place

We normally meet in the Victoria West Lawn Bowling Clubhouse, 407 Alston St, Victoria. Entry to the parking lot is off Bay Street next door to the Da Vinci Centre. However, at present, given current COVID restriction, we meet virtually via Zoom.
