The Hope Medal is awarded to an individual or group (Lion or non-Lion) who demonstrates outstanding charitable achievement in their community. The Lions Foundation of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, Inc. provides a Hope Medal with each donation of $400.00. The Hope Medal was designed by PDG Gunter Zionn in 2000. The design of the Hope Medal with a green and white ribbon represents Hope and Peace and displays three maple leafs; one for each of the three districts we serve; 5M10, 5M11 and 5M13.
