8th October – all of New Zealand is now at Level One. Check the government Covid-19 site for any recommendations and updates.
What do we do?
• we help people in our community by giving our time and skills
• we raise money for worthy local causes and national charities
• we have fun and enjoy being together
Who are we?
We’re everyday people who like to help others. We give up our time and energy so we can make a positive difference in our community. We also fundraise for communities in need around the world.
Is it just a NZ thing?
The Rangiora Lions Club is one of thousands of Lions clubs worldwide.
Lions is the world’s largest volunteer service organisation with over 1.4 million people. Although we don’t know most of them, we get on pretty well with those we meet, achieve great things in our community and have a lot of fun doing it.
How does our community benefit?
Rangiora Lions directly help community groups and individuals in the North Cantebury area. Also, our community (and country) can benefit from humanitarian funding from the international Lions organisation. For instance, Lions gave over $1 million to help Christchurch rebuild after the city was rocked by earthquakes in 2010/11.
How do I join the Rangiora Lions Club?
If this looks and sounds like something you’d be into, have a look around the site and find out more. Membership is by invitation and we’d like it if you’d take part in an activity or two before deciding.

Our club built shelters in the Rangiora dog park - have a look at this consultation on Milton Reserve and give your feedback about what you would like to see there.WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The Millton Reserve Development Plan is currently out for public submissions. As per the drawing, the Council have allocated just half the area we had our hearts set-on for the Agility Park. We feel there is huge benefit in incorporating the large trees to the East, providing shelter, shade, and further enrichment for dogs and their owners.
If you agree, we need you to submit your thoughts to the Council - before the January 8th Deadline. It’ll only take a minute or two of your time, but helps us out tremendously as our voice alone may not be enough.
Direct Link to submit your feedback:
letstalk.waimakariri.govt.nz/millton-memorial-park-development/survey_tools/millton-memorial-park...
If you’d like to copy and paste your submission statement into the comments below, we’d love to hear your thoughts. It may also help others with their wording too.
Once we have Council approval and a timeline, we can complete and share with you our plans for an amazing agility course in this area - which will be once again fundraised for and built by the Rangiora Lions Club and Friends of the Dog Park, as we did with the Shelters.
THANK YOU!
