“Established in 1926, the Legion is the largest Veterans Service Organization in Canada with more than 320,000 members. Our Mission is to serve veterans, which includes military and RCMP members, and their families, to promote remembrance and to serve our communities and our country.” From The Royal Canadian Legion website.
Locally, the Legion offers many family friendly events and hosts an Open House on Friday and Saturday nights. You don’t need to be a member to enjoy the camaraderie of your local Legion.
