Communities and youth

All across the country, Legion Branches connect to their communities. From service to the country to service to the community, the Legion improves the lives of their fellow citizens, in particular Veterans, seniors and youth.

Helping strengthen communities across Canada

Although a key focus of the work we do is to honour and support Canada’s Veterans, The Royal Canadian Legion grew from a history of service. Today, we continue that tradition by volunteering in our communities, helping to build a stronger Canada.

Legions in their communities

As the cornerstone of communities across the country, we provide essential services and supports to help Veterans, seniors, youth and those in need.
