July 17 2026 will be celebrated as the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion. We will bring more about this in coming articles about the centenary. The focus is based on our Vision and Mission Statements:
“Our vision for The Royal Canadian Legion’s Centenary in 2026 is to inspire all Canadians to stand with us in honouring Remembrance, supporting Veterans, and building stronger communities. Together, we will celebrate 100 years of volunteerism, while continuing our proud legacy of honour, advocacy and service to community and country — carrying it forward for the next century.”
“Our mission for 2026 is to present a year-long, multi-faceted campaign that not only inspires Canadians to join the Legion and support our efforts, but also deepens our connection to the sacrifices made by Veterans. By celebrating our 100 year legacy of service and volunteerism, strengthening relationships with Veterans and communities, and promoting Remembrance, we aim to ensure the Legion’s success and Canada’s continued support of Veterans and Remembrance for generations to come.”
Join us on Mondays and Thursdays (Except the first Thursday of the month) at 1:00 pm for darts, euchre and bridge. It costs $3 to play. Saturday November 8 we play “darts for meat” where you play for a chance to bring home a prize cut, cost is $4.00.
Please drop by our legion on New Years Day for a “levée” which is an open house to socialize. From noon to two o’clock our members will be bringing finger foods to share, and there will be a cash bar as well as coffee and tea. We hope to see you then!
