Your Royal Canadian Legion makes a real difference in the lives of Veterans and their families, offering vital support programs, helping communities thrive, and keeping the memory of those who sacrificed for Canada alive.
100 Years of Service to Canada
Since 1926, the Legion has stood with Veterans, honoured the Fallen, and strengthened communities across the country.
Celebrate the Legion’s Centenary
2026 is a historic year for the Legion — 100 years of service, community impact, and Remembrance. Throughout the year, we’re launching special initiatives, sharing stories from our past, and hosting events that bring Canadians together. From local Branch activities to national programs, there are many ways to take part, honour our legacy, and help shape the Legion’s future.
Explore Our History
We’ve created a beautiful, interactive website that chronicles major events and achievements of the Legion over the past century. From our founding and early advocacy for Veterans, through post-Second World War rehabilitation and national growth, to the modern era and new Veterans–the site is a treasure trove of history.
Supporting Veterans Where It Matters
From support programs and resources to helping access the benefits they’ve earned, the Legion is there for Veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and their families when they need us most.
