2020 Sockeye Run Canceled
The Richmond Lions club regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Sockeye Run. The recent COVID19 pandemic has caused unprecedented action and sanctions to prevent the spread of this disease. With no clear indication of when things will return to normal the decision was made to cancel this years show. This was not a decision that came easy.
We felt it unfair to sponsors who may be feeling the economic outfall of recent events, or to collect from sponsors only to cancel at the last minute.
To our many long time participants, we are truly sorry to make this announcement. Next year we will return and we hope to see you all then.
Classic Car Cruise
The fourth annual cruise of classic and custom cars is hosted by the Steveston Merchants Association. The cruise will take place on Sunday December 4th for 15 minutes from 12:15 to 12:30. The cars will drive along every street in the Village at least twice. The cars will park for a two hour display from 12:30 – 2:30 at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and the Steveston Hotel and Buck & Ear Pub.
The car owners will bring toys or cash to donate to the Richmond Christmas Fund.
The Richmond Lions Club will provide canopies to cover the tables of donations and to sell their annual Christmas cakes. They will lead off the parade of special interest cars as they tour the historic scenic village of Steveston, BC.
The car cruise kicks off the Christmas season in Steveston along with Santa arriving by boat, the annual Old Fashioned Horse & Carriage rides, the Festival of Trees display inside the Cannery, and the bi-weekly Cannery Farmer’s Market.

Christmas Trees
For more than 35 years the Vancouver South Lions Club has sold Christmas trees. These days the trees are sold at the John Oliver high school on the corner of 41st Ave and Fraser St in Vancouver.
A number of our members were one time members of Vancouver South and still have ties with them. The Richmond Lions have participated in tree sales for many years.
