Membership |
|
 The Royal Canadian Legion is proud of
its military heritage and still
maintains close ties with the Armed
Forces today.
However, over the years, categories of membership have evolved to
include other members of the community.
Our members are men
and women, the young and not so young.
They all have one thing in common. They
care! They care about Canada's Veterans,
they care about seniors, they care about
Canada's youth and they care about each
other.
The Legion would love to welcome YOU, so
why not drop in to our Legion branch and
see what it's all about. You can also
join through the
Dominion Command website.
You have nothing to lose and everything
to gain.
Membership does have its privileges!

Youth Education Program |
|
Overview
Legions throughout Canada sponsor youth programs
that include sports, cadet corps, scouts, and
leadership training and remembrance activities.
It is our aim to help youth learn an
appreciation for teamwork, leadership, duty and
most importantly, remembrance. The branch’s
Youth Education program is divided into
Remembrance and Leadership.
Remembrance
The Legion believes educating our youth on the
high cost of their freedom is one of our most
important roles in today’s society. We must
impress upon young people who have never known
war, that freedom was won at the cost of many
lives; young lives like their own. Our annual
poster, literary and essay contests with a
remembrance theme, help focus the attention of
the participants on those who gave all for the
freedom we enjoy.
|
The
Remembrance Day Poster and Literary Contest is part of the
Legion's Youth program. It is meant to foster an understanding
of the sacrifices made on our behalf by many young men and women
in World Wars I and II, and the Korean War. To this day, many
brave young men and women put their personal security at risk in
the name of peace and humanity in places like Bosnia, Cyprus,
Haiti, East Timor, Afghanistan, etc.
For many, many years, The Royal Canadian Legion has sponsored
the Annual Literary and Poster Contest that is open to
all Canadian school children. The youths that participate in the
contest assist the Legion in one of our primary goals –
fostering the tradition of remembrance amongst Canadians.
