There are some popular misconceptions regarding the Royal Canadian Legion. One of the most popular is that you had to have been a member of the military to be able to join. This is not true.
Another misconception is that you need to be a member to come to any of our very popular and enjoyable social events. This also is not true.
Another huge misconception is that we are strictly a drinking establishment. This is also not true. Many of the members of any of the Legions do not drink. In addition to serving alcohol we also serve coffee, pop, juice and water.
Another point that many get wrong is that we are a seniors club. This is very wrong. We have events for the young and old alike. Most of the branches offer a big screen TV to watch any of the many sports events that are being aired, while you sit and enjoy the company of others.
Many of the branches offer billiard tables, dart boards and shuffleboards. There are meat draws, many special and seasonal events such as teen dances and open mike nights, barbecue's and weekend dances, card games and local entertainers who preform for your enjoyment.
We also offer our buildings to be used for weddings, graduations, school dances and other local gatherings. Often we provide the food as well as the building.
Legions need new members, both young and old in order to be able to continue with the commitment we make to our veterans. As we did in the past for our troops who served, we want to be able to be here for those returning from their efforts today, and also for their families.
Each year Legions donate thousands of dollars to worthwhile charities and to community events. Join us and be part of our community.
