Who we are
The Royal Canadian Legion exists so that Canada never forgets.
The Legion is Canada’s largest Veteran support and community service organization.
At The Royal Canadian Legion, we are dedicated to expressing our gratitude for the sacrifices made by our Veterans. Through national and provincial Commands and regional Branches and Members, we provide unwavering support and ensure their memory lives
on through Remembrance.
Our mission
To serve Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance and to serve our Communities and our Country.
Our three pillars
Support and Advocacy for Veterans
Founded by Veterans and for Veterans, the Legion is devoted to supporting and advocating for the men and women who served our country and put their lives on the line for our freedoms and way of life.
Remembrance, so we never forget
The Royal Canadian Legion is committed to ensuring Canadians never forget. We remember Canadian Veterans from all conflicts and those who have sacrificed on the home front.
Engaging communities through service
As the cornerstone of communities across the country, Legion Branches provide essential support to Veterans, seniors, youth, and those in need. In many communities, Legion Branches are central places for people to gather and connect with their neighbours.
The Legion makes a real and meaningful difference.
At The Royal Canadian Legion, we believe in the power of people working together.
The Legion is a democratic, nonpartisan, member-based organization. We endeavour to make a difference in the lives of Veterans, including military and RCMP members and their families; to support our communities and our country; and to always remember
the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada.
