It’s Legion Week in Canada.
Flag raising ceremonies were held at municipal service centres across the municipality on Friday.
Although recognizing the sacrifice and contribution Canada’s military men and women have made to our freedom remains at the core of the Legion, membership is no longer restricted to veterans of Canada’s armed forces.
National Legion Week is designed to educate visitors on the good work their local Branch does in the community, and reinforces the important role Branches play in a shared mission to serve and support our Veterans, as well as contribute to the well-being of the community.
There are more than 1,300 Legion branches across Canada with some 250,000 members.
