Lion Ron Ewles was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario. Shortly after he married Carol, 44 years ago, life’s adventures began with a move to Winnipeg, and a few years later to Saskatoon. Ron and Lion Carol have 3 adult children, son Don and his wife Margot, and daughters Susan and Jennifer. They love traveling, and, with their family, have explored 9 Canadian Provinces, 44 of the 50 U.S. States, and have found new adventures everywhere, including walking on a glacier in Alberta, mining for diamonds in Arkansas, and a mid-July snowball fight in Alaska.
Lion Ron is a “mostly-retired” computer software consultant with over 40 years in information technology, designing and developing financial and manufacturing software. Ron is a former Mayor of Martensville, Saskatchewan and served as Chairman of the Martensville Police Commission. Ron was active in the Saskatoon business community, and served a term as President of the Saskatoon Business Promotion Club. When he’s not busy with the Lions Club, Ron enjoys golf, hunting, fishing and tournament poker.
Lion Ron is a Charter Member of the Martensville Saskatchewan Lions Club, with 18 years of Lions service. Ron has belonged to Lions Clubs in Martensville and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, as well as Welland and Burlington, Ontario. He has filled most club executive positions during that time, and has received 100% President and 100% Secretary awards and the Key Member award.
Ron has held a number of positions on the 5CN District Cabinet, including Zone Chairman, Deputy District Governor, Regional Chairman, Lioness Liaison Co-Chairman, Information Technology Chairman and Director of the Saskatchewan Lions Eye Bank. During three years as Lioness Liaison Co-Chairpersons, Lions Ron and Carol helped start 12 new Lioness Clubs. While serving as Deputy District Governor, Ron was presented with the 5CN Deputy District Governor of the Year Award.
In the west, Lions Ron and Carol have attended most District 5CN and several Multiple District 5 conventions. In Ontario, they joined the fun at Districts A4, A7 and Multiple District A conventions. In 2008, they had the opportunity to participate in the Great Plains Lions Leadership Institute in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Lions Ron believes it’s “FUN TO BE A LION”, and plans to introduce his own form of zaniness wherever he goes.
