      The Legion continues to seek volunteers for committee work. The Legion could not give back to the community and provide a pleasant hall to meet, to visit, to play darts and to cater meals without volunteers. What are the benefits to volunteering? According to a recent survey from Saint John Ambulance the benefits include connecting with others, helping to make a difference in one’s community, meeting and volunteering with like-minded people, feeling positive about one’s activities helping an organization and giving a purpose to help others.

      The mission of the Royal Canadian Legion is to serve Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance and to serve our communities and our country.
