In 2007, Victoria will open its arms to the Royal Canadian Legion. Your hosts for the Convention are the Branches of South Vancouver Island Zone, which encompasses Greater Victoria, Sooke, Sidney and the Gulf Islands. The Local Arrangements Committee has already selected the hotels you will be using and the Convention itself will be held in the Victoria Conference Centre. It is a top class, comfortable venue with full amenities.

Our Ways and Means Committee is presently working on pre-convention fundraising as well as preparing submissions for corporate sponsorships. The Activities and Souvenir Committee is putting together numerous packages that will keep anyone busy who will be arriving early or remaining for a few days after the Convention.

The Convention fun will start Saturday, June 9, 2007 with a bus trip to Sooke Branch 54 for dinner and entertainment. Sunday night will be the gala Vancouver Island Zones Hospitality Room. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there will be entertainment, food and refreshments at Britannia Br. 7, Prince Edward Br. 91, Esquimalt Dockyard Br. 172 and Trafalgar/Pro Patria Br. 292.

This will be a Convention to remember.
