New Horizons for Seniors Program Grant
Montgomery President Robert Buss was at the Good Companions Seniors' Centre on March 5, 2025 for the announcement of those organizations that received a New Horizons for Seniors Program Grant.

Montgomery Legion Branch 351 was chosen to receive funding to run 5 programs.

The project title is Focus on Seniors: Engaging and Educating in a Social Setting.

Keep an eye open for details on the exciting programs that will be starting April 2025 and run until March 2026.

Right: Bob Buss 'centre' is flanked by Yasir Naqvi and other recipients from Connected Canadians and Scholars at Risk.

There were over 50 residents and staff in attendance. It was great to see so many of them singing along, clapping and grooving to the tunes. There were even some brave souls who sang solos and duets.

Many residents and staff commented that it was out doubt one of the best Pub nights they have had.

Also thanks to Branch members, Lisa Morris, Luc Chrétien, Tim Blanchard, Brent MacDonald and Joan McCorkell who ensured everyone had drinks and plenty of snacks. 

Helping a Veteran

Branch Executive member Lisa Morris reports that our Legion pulled together to get a Legion jacket for Don McKellar, a Veteran of the RCAF.

He'll wear the jacket at gatherings at The Rideau Veterans' Health Centre and on Remembrance Day.

He was pleased and thankful.
