OUR MISSION
Our mission is to serve Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families,
to promote Remembrance, and to serve our communities and our country.
THE LEGION SERVES ALL VETERANS
The Royal Canadian Legion was founded by Veterans and for Veterans. We advocate for the care and benefits for all who served Canada, regardless of when or where they served.
The Legion also provides representation and assistance to Veterans, including currently serving Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP, and their families, and access to our services is available to them
at no cost, whether or not they are Legion members. The Legion helps thousands of Veterans each
year and makes significant positive changes in their lives.
THE LEGION SERVES OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR COUNTRY
Legion Branches are the cornerstone of communities across Canada and provide one of the largest volunteer bases in the country. With more than 1,400 Branches from coast to coast to coast, our members provide local services and supports to build a stronger Canada. Whether helping local Veterans, supporting seniors, providing youth sports programs, raising funds, volunteering to help those in need, or simply offering a place to gather for fun and celebration, Legionnaires provide essential services in their communities.

Honouring Ontario's Military Heroes:
Share Your Story in the Annual Military Service Recognition Book Program
The Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command extends an invitation to Ontario Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members to contribute their stories to the annual Military Service Recognition Book (MSRB) Program. This initiative aims to capture and commemorate the experiences of those who have dedicated themselves to serving our country.
The Military Service Recognition Book is a tribute to the valor and commitment of Ontario's Veterans, highlighting their contributions during times of both war and peace. Beyond acknowledging individual sacrifices, the book plays a crucial role in preserving the legacy of those who have played a vital part in shaping the nation and upholding Canada's role as a defender of freedom.
This annual publication serves as a reminder for generations to come, ensuring that the sacrifices made by these individuals are never forgotten. The stories shared within its pages provide a glimpse into the diverse and meaningful experiences of Ontario's military community, creating a lasting testament to their dedication.
