Serving Veterans and their Families
The Legion provides assistance, always free of charge, to any person who is serving or who has honourably served in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or its wartime allies, or as a Regular Member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or as a Peace Officer in a Special Duty Area or on a Special Duty Operation, or who has served in the Merchant Navy or Ferry Command during wartime. The Legion also assists their eligible family members.
If you require any of these services from Branch 68, please complete the Contact Us form, checking Veteran Services, and a member of our Executive will contact you shortly. Alternately, you may find additional information at Royal Canadian Legion Canada.
If you require immediate medical or mental health assistance, call 911 or attend your nearest Hospital Emergency Department.
