This year the Maple Lions Club celebrates their 75th anniversary. March 11th, 1948 was their first official meeting, with the Club being sponsored by the Richmond Hill Lions Club.

The first major event that was held was a “Homecoming” that saw residents come back to visit their former town. This year on April 15th there will be a second “Homecoming”. If you remember Maple when there were three mills, one stoplight and no high school – then you will enjoy this event.

The reunion takes place from 3-7 pm in the Maple Lions Memorial Arena. Tickets are $25 and are available through Eventbrite or contacting David Cook at cookca @ sympatico.ca.

All proceeds go to the Maple Lions Club.
