Veteran Services

One of the important responsibilities of Legion branches is to assist veterans, their spouses and their dependents. Depending on circumstances, financial assistance may be available from either Veterans Affairs Canada or the Legion poppy trust fund. Should you, or someone you know, need assistance please call the Branch office at (613) 432-6450 and leave a contact in order that the Branch Service Officer may get in touch with you to discuss and recommend options. You need not be a Legion member to take advantage of these services.
