Block Parents
Lumsden is a Block Parent community. Block Parents are responsible adults who care sufficiently about the well-being of children, senior citizens and others to volunteer their homes as a refuge in an emergency. All Block Parents are screened by the RCMP and are given instructions on the program by local volunteers.

In addition to the primary goal of making communities safer for children and the elderly, the Block Parent Program deters criminals and troublemakers. The network of Block Parent homes is a visible reminder that citizens are watchful in their neighbourhood.

Garden Club
The Lumsden Garden Club meets once a month from September to April at the Lutheran Church basement on Broad Street, Lumsden.

The Club brings in local speakers to talk about topics of interest to the group. Refreshments are served after the talk. Meetings are informal and friendly. Members donate a toonie at each meeting to pay for a small gift for our speakers.

TOPS
Take Off Pounds Sensibly meets every Tuesday at 6:45 pm in the meeting room at Fitness Down Under (behind the Medical Clinic).
