Serving the community since 1954
The Lions Club of Merrickville has been serving the Merrickville-Wolford community since 1954. Today we are a growing, active club with a strong, visible presence in our community. Whether it is through efforts to address food insecurity, achieve greater accessibility, promote environmental sustainability, engage our community with local events, or invest in community infrastructure, we hold true to our mission: “WE SERVE”. We also contribute to Lions International causes such as dog guides and disaster relief. Volunteering together to make a difference in our community is what unites us as members.
The Lions Club of Merrickville has installed a bike repair station at 106 Main Street West (between the Yellow Canoe and the Mainstreet Restaurant). It’s ready and waiting to assist cyclists in need.

The Reuse Centre is open for business at the Merrickville Landfill. We would like to thank all the volunteers, Sustainable Merrickville, and the Municipality for their cooperation and contribution towards this project. It is open every Saturday morning from 9-12.
* The volunteers and municipal staff have final say on accepting any products
Are you a community organization hosting an event? Don’t forget that the Merrickville Lions have tools to help you make your event more accessible. We have signage to create an accessible drop off/ pick up zone. While we are short on accessible parking, the one thing you can do is create a safe place to drop-off someone who may not be able to walk very far while the driver finds a space to park further away. The checklist is to remind you of accessibility details. The checklist is a guideline and just points out items that may not have been considered before to help make the village events more accessible to those with disabilities. If you are interested in using these tools, please contact us at merrickvillelionsprograms@gmail.com

The Lions Club of Merrickville maintains and operates the Community Gardens on behalf of the Town of Merrickville. Access to the Garden is located at Louis Street East and Church Streets. There are 20 raised garden boxes (10' x 5'). Rental rates are $25 for the first box and $15 for additional boxes. Garden tools are available for use. Boxes are now available for the 2026 season. If you are interested in signing up or need more information contact Dennis at merrickvillegardens@gmail.com.
The Lions Club embarked on a project to bring additional AED’s to Merrickville. Partnering with Zoll Medical, CardioChoc and our community, the Lions purchased 4 new units to be strategically placed in the Community. AEDs are defibrillators that, when available, can by used when a person experiences a cardiac event. The ZOLL AED 3® defibrillator features real-time CPR feedback, full-colour rescue images, RapidShock™ analysis technology, and an integrated child mode, making it simple to treat both adult and pediatric victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
They can now be found at:

• Lions Campground (Summer)
• Mainstreet Restaurant (Winter)
• Eastons Corners Centennial Hall
