The Lambton Central Petrolia Optimist Club, like all Optimist Clubs, was formed to service the needs of the youth in Petrolia and its environs as per the motto of Optimist International, ‘Friend of Youth’. We do this by sponsoring and supporting various sports groups such as:

  • Minor Hockey
  • Minor Baseball
  • Minor Soccer
  • Scouting
  • Terry Fox Run
  • Kylie’s Kause.

We also run our own special programs for the children in our area. These include:

  • Annual Elementary School Cross Country race
  • Career Day for grade 7 and 8 students in the three schools we service
  • Academic Challenge, (a trivia contest), also for the grade 7 and 8’s of this area
  • a Spelling Bee for grades 5 through 8
  • Respect for Law, that encourages a good rapport between the primary students of the local schools and first responders, such as the police, fire fighters and paramedics
  • a Bike Rodeo that teaches the rules of the road and encourages the safe operation of bicycles.

We fund these activities and sponsorships by raising money through a varienty of efforts including:

  • Meat Raffles
  • Annual Elimination Raffle
  • Annual Angel Tree, (an event that sees local citizens purchase an Angel to commemorate the life of a deceased loved one to be displayed over the Christmas holidays)
  • Rubber Duck Race
  • and several other small fund raisers.

Our Club meets twice a month.

The first Wednesday of each month is our business meeting where the elected executive discusses and votes on issues and activities of concern to our group.

The fourth Wednesday of each month is our ‘Dinner’ meeting where all the members are encouraged to come and listen to the information being imparted and share in the camaraderie of our group.
