The Lions Cavalcade came into existence in 1987 when it was felt that as Lions we needed to establish a highly visible province-wide fund raising program to help support the Canadian Diabetes Association through its Diabetes Research and Awareness programs throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories.Contact: Lion Dennis Stevenson, MDC Lions Cavalcade Chairperson

DOG GUIDES
Lions Foundation of Canada trains Dog Guides and assist Canadians with a wide range of disabilities. With six programs in place, Canadians with disabilities are offered the opportunity to find greater independence, mobility and safety through the help of a Dog Guide.
Depending on the program, Dog Guides are trained to perform a set of basic skills that are useful to all handlers. However, some of their training is also tailored to meet the specific needs of their future handler. In the final stage of training, the client and Dog Guide train and live together at the Oakville facility for two to four weeks. This helps to ensure that the new working team develops a bond and prepares them for their next step - returning home.
