The Legion’s Early Bird Campaign

Scholarships and Bursaries

Every member counts!

Starting on September 1st, you can renew your Legion membership. Dues are $70.00 for current members and $75.00 for new members.
(Command is charging a $5 processing fee for new members).

Renew by November 30th for one of three chances to win your 2027 membership FREE! All renewed members’ names stay in the draw ‘til you win or the campaign ends.
(Offer closes on November 30th, at midnight. Draws will be held at the General Meeting in October, November and December).

Drop into the branch and pay by cash or cheque and pick up your renewal sticker; or go to www.Legion.ca to renew online and then pick up your renewal sticker at your convenience.

The Legion does not have a national level bursary or scholarship program as all awards are administered by our local branches, such as Montgomery Branch, and Provincial Commands. Each branch is responsible for developing the specific eligibility requirements, deadlines and application procedures, which can vary regionally.

Some bursaries are awarded from the Poppy Trust Funds to students who are children or grandchildren of Canadian ex-service persons (war veterans or post-war service) and who are in need of assistance. These bursaries may be awarded at any stage of a college or university program. Other bursaries and scholarships may be awarded from other Legion funds and the criteria are established by the respective branch or Provincial Command.

Legion Seniors

Soldiers’ Aid Commission - La Commission d’aide aux anciens combattants

Chair: Lisa Morris - seniors@montgomerylegion.ca

The Royal Canadian Legion's commitment to seniors dates back more than 50 years to when branches first got involved in building low rent apartment units for elderly veterans, widows and their dependents.

Today, most branches conduct seniors' programs or provide services focussed on health care, home support and housing. At the national level there is advocacy for seniors' rights and their well being. As well, support is given to the work of other organizations such as Alzheimer's Canada.

The Legion spends approximately $2 million and contributes 447,000 volunteer hours annually to help thousands of seniors across the nation. More here...

Lunch & Learn

On September 24th, our branch ran a Lunch & Learn presentation on Scams, with 20 in attendance.

Constable Stephanie Lemieux of the Ottawa Police Service gave the presentation, on the most common and current scams.

A discussion and a delicious lunch catered by Chef Ric Watson, followed.

This is a notice to all Legion branches that the Soldiers' Aid Commission provides financial assistance to eligible Ontario Veterans and their dependents.

Up to $3,000 per 12-month period is available to help cover essential needs such as food, shelter, clothing, health-related items, and other urgent expenses.

If you are aware of a Veteran or dependent who may benefit from this support, please contact Ontario Command or the Provincial Service Officer for guidance on the application process and eligibility requirements.

Thank you

Fun @ 351

On September 26th, an enthusiastic group took part in our first session of the fall Euchre season.

As well, some members played darts and everyone enjoyed our regular TGIF pizza lunch the last Friday of every month, thanks to our NHSP grant.

Euchre returns on October 10th and repeats every second Friday afternoon at 1:00pm.

Hours of Operation

Extending closing later than the above minimum hours is dependent on planned events and as specified in the regulations of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

Branch members can obtain a digital copy or a printed mailout of our General Meeting minutes by contacting our Branch Manager, via e-mail rcl351@rogers.com. Alternatively, you can stop by the branch office, Tuesday through Friday, to obtain a printed copy.
