The Schumacher Lions Club received a Heart of Gold civic recognition award today as part of the McIntyre Designation Ceremony. Presented by Mayor Michelle Boileau, the dedicated volunteers of the Schumacher Lions Club were recognized for their commitment to building a stronger and more connected community through the creation of the Schumacher International Peace Park in 2021.

Over 30 peace poles have been erected in the peace park, located in the Schumacher Lions Park, steps away from the historic McIntyre Community Centre.

“The Lions Club helped transform a shared space into a place of reflection, unity, and pride that represents the city’s diversity and heritage,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “The park is an example of the how the Schumacher Lion’s Club works to create lasting impact in our community by encouraging a culture of giving back, strengthening social bonds, and inspiring change.”

The award comes at a time when the Schumacher Lions Club and their dedicated volunteers are celebrating their 90th Anniversary and 9 decades of service to the community. Since the 1970s, the McIntyre Community Centre has been home to the Lions Den, and many of their signature events, like the annual Sportsman’s Show, are why the McIntyre Community Centre continues to serve as a community hub.

Recipients of the Heart of Gold Recognition Program are recognized during a regular meeting of council. Residents are encouraged to nominate someone they know who has made a positive impact on the community or achieved outstanding accomplishment in the following categories:
• Volunteer and Community Service
• Youth Community and Civic Engagement
• Achievement in Sports
• Achievement in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)
