The Navan Community Association was formed to create a voice for the residents, with a greater impact, and a vision of making Navan a wonderful place to live.

The Navan Lions Club sponsored a public meeting in April 1996, which indicated a need and desire to form a Community Association. 

With the guidance of Diane Huffman from the South Nation Conservation Office, by March 1997 progress was under way to create a constitution. Several Lions played a key role  in the creation and sustaining of the
organization.

The purpose of the forming of the Association was to:

- Empower the community to have a voice with governments
- Utlize community resources and business
- Build capacity
- Raise awareness and educate all ages
- Build a sense of pride

Regular meetings are held the 3rd Monday of every month at the Navan Memorial Centre Hall upstairs starting at 7:30.

November 12, 2001 the Association became incorporated.
