WHO WE ARE
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 understands the importance of honouring past sacrifices and acknowledging the courage of those who served and still serve today. Through Remembrance Day ceremonies, the Poppy campaign, commemorative activities, youth education programs and more, the Legion helps Canadians to honour and remember.
Although a key focus of the work we do is to honour and support Canada’s Veterans, The Royal Canadian Legion grew from a history of service. Today, we continue that tradition by volunteering in our communities, helping to build a stronger Canada.

WHAT WE DO
The Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 524 offers a range of services aimed at supporting veterans and their families. From financial assistance to community events, we are dedicated to providing the necessary support and resources. Our goal is to ensure that every veteran receives the care and respect they deserve. We take pride in our commitment to improving the lives of those who have served our country.
​
Our Local Branch Services Officer can assist Veterans with completing Legion claims forms, and refer them to Command Service Officers for individual assistance. Branch Service Officers also coordinate benevolent financial assistance through the Branch Poppy Fund, visit Veterans in facilities, and refer them to other support programs. They are the point of contact for Veterans within their local communities.
