Just imagine 100 years ago, a few thousand Canadians died at Vimy Ridge to put a end to WW1. Then their sons and daughters had to die in the thousands to do it all over again in WW2. Now many\u00a0 of our sons and daughters are now serving to keep the peace in a world that may not want peace.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But as Canadians we are there,\u00a0where we are needed. \u00a0That is the main reason the members of the Royal Canadian Legion are there to make sure that every Veteran young or old gets the help needed to\u00a0 have a life after serving in any place on earth and even just at home during disasters or\u00a0 any event threatening our Country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So if you are\u00a0 a citizen of this Country and have some time Come and Join our Branch and help those who need it .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We\u00a0 thank everyone who supports us and are looking forward to celebrate 150 years of Canada this summer with some fundraiser events and All our regular volunteers are ready to make these a success.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our next membership meeting will be on April 13 at 7:00 pm and nominations will be considered for the next slate of officers and executive committee and elections will be held at our May membership meeting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our Ladies Auxiliary deserve a\u00a0 BIG thank you for their support by having lunches and dinners<\/div>\n

This old veteran walked down the stairs and is in uniform and all camouflaged.<\/div>\n
So his wife asked\u00a0\u201cWhat is going on?\u201d So he says\u00a0\u2018I got a letter from my Comrades and they need me to settle a score at the GULF\u201d<\/div>\n
So the wife says\u00a0\u201clet me see that letter!\u201d And she starts laughing and tells him\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026..\u201d They want you to come and play a round of GOLF and they need you for a foursome!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
