Each year the Lions clubs compete in an annual can tab collection competition. For numerous years the Lions club from Pigeon Lake has crushed their fellow competitors by pounds, which when you consider just how little a can tab weighs, that’s quite impressive. The winning club collects all the tabs from their competitors and they take them in to scrap dealers in exchange for funds. These funds are donated to Diabetes research. Globally, diabetes is one of the most challenging public health issues we have. Cases are expected to nearly double in the next couple of years. It is the 5th leading cause of death worldwide. This year’s totals were: First place -The Blindman Valley Lions with 323 lbs, second place - Sylvan Lake with 295.3 lbs and third place - Pigeon Lake with 247.5 lb.
