The
Royal Canadian Legion Welcomes You!
The Royal
Canadian Legion was formed in 1925 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 the largest community service organization
in Canada with 500,000 members and 1660 branches in Canada,
the USA and Germany. 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. 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.
