Our fallen comrades served in battle, you have
"another way to serve"
by joining The Royal Canadian Legion.

Anyone can join the Legion at the age of 19

That's right...anyone can join. There are different types of membership, based on your military affiliation and citizenship. All members are entitled to vote. If you are interested in joining, please contact the Branch.

A few benefits of becoming a Legion member are:

• the opportunity to make new friends
• you can play in house sports
• there is opportunity to grow within this great organization such as becoming an Executive Member
• knowing you are helping others in your community and elsewhere
• taking an active part in promoting Remembrance
• receiving the Legion magazine

The Royal Canadian Legion was formed in 1926 with a membership of 50,000. The Legion's commitment to the Remembrance of those who gave their lives for peace and freedom, is as valid today as it was then. Today the Legion is one of the largest community service organizations in Canada, with more than 360,000 members and approximately 1,500 branches in Canada, the USA and Europe.

As well as service to veterans and the community, the Legion has a strong and continuing commitment in promoting Canada's contribution to world peace, the protection of Canadian sovereignty and the preservation of national unity.

As the years take their toll on Canada's veteran population, the Legion needs the infusion of new blood in order to maintain the many services provided by The Royal Canadian Legion to communities across Canada.

Membership was originally restricted to those who had served in Canada's Armed Forces and Merchant Navy. The Royal Canadian Legion is proud of its military heritage and still maintains close ties with the Armed Forces today; however, over the years, categories of membership have evolved to include other members of the community.

If you would like more information on joining this great organization please email our Membership Chairperson Bernice Noble or click here to download a membership form from the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command website.
