The Lions Club of Winnipeg – the first Lions Club in Manitoba and the third in all of Canada – received its Charter from the International President of Lions Clubs on Saturday, November 26th, 1921. The Lions Club of Winnipeg Housing Centres’ Board of Directors is comprised of Lions Club of Winnipeg members.
​
Today, Lions Housing Centres continues to own, operate housing and care facilities, to provide accommodations for adult citizens, and to provide support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs but consideration of their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
​
​
Lions Manor was the result of the vision, foresight and determination of the Lions Club of Winnipeg Housing Centres, who recognized the need for senior housing in downtown Winnipeg 56 years ago. Lions Manor officially opened June 3, 1965. The original 191 suites provided independent affordable housing for seniors with an emphasis on a community lifestyle.
