Purpose
We are a group of volunteers who exist to advocate for those who presently serve, or who have served, and their families, who live within the area of our jurisdiction; to keep alive the memory of the fallen; and to further the goals of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Please consider joining our Legion branch to make sure this work is able to continue (see the online Legion Membership page).
Branch members can renew their membership online here.
