DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that ANYONE can join the legion at the age of 19?

You don't have to be affiliated with the military. As the years take their toll on Canada's veteran population, the Legion needs the infusion of new blood in order to maintain the many services provided by The Royal Canadian Legion to communities across Canada.

Membership was originally restricted to those who had served in Canada's Armed Forces and Merchant Navy.

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.
