Lions Club Pin

This Lions Club pin celebrates the Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival, celebrated the third weekend each February. The trapper, holding the Lions Club sign, and the husky dog, are both iconic symbols of Trappers’ Festival and of northern Manitoba. A trapper sign stands proudly in The Pas all year round in homage to both the Festival and the many men and women who worked and still do work within the trapping industry, a very important industry in northern Manitoba. The pin connects the service group to The Pas.

The pin, in the shape of a sled dog standing beside the Trappers sign man with both on a patch of snow, has a single butterfly clutch on the verso of the item. The verso is a textured gold coloured surface. Near the bottom of the verso is stamped the text “Artiss-Regina/Taiwan”. The recto shows the man from the Trappers sign holding a Lions emblem in his hand. He has a white face and hands, a black hat and brown clothing, all gold edged. To his right is a sled dog, completely gold coloured. They are both standing on an irregular patch of white snow. In the snow patch, the gold coloured text reads “The Pas Lions Club/5M-13”.
