The Dominion and Ontario Commands of the Royal Canadian Legions will continue to closely monitor the treatment of Veterans by the Federal Government. Several issues continue to be top priority at this time. Some of the issues are, taking care of Homeless Veterans, ensuring appropriate care for our military personnel and proper care for the Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PSTD. Contact Nancy Alleyne, Veteran Service Officer at nancyalleyne33@gmail.com or 519-793-4346 if you have questions or know a Veteran who needs help from Veterans Affairs.
