Ladies Auxiliary
Members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary support the aims and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion and their dedicated service enriches the programs and activities of the Branch.
During the 1914-1918 war years as wounded veterans returned home, women were asked to help with their recovery by visiting hospitals,sending parcels to the hospitalized and to needy families. It was from these dedicated bands of women that The Royal Canadian Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary was started! Today, the Ladies’ Auxiliary is a vital and integral part of the work of the Legion. Major contributors to the day-to-day life of Legion.
Branches, Ladies’ Auxiliaries provide financial and volunteer support to Legion programs.
