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.
