It’s ‘Legion Week’ across the community

(Branch 18 at the Forks, Facebook)

Sunday September 16 marked the beginning of Royal Canadian Legion Week and the event was marked with flag raising ceremonies at municipal service centres in Wallaceburg and Chatham last week.

In Chatham, Councillor Brock McGregor said the work done by Legion members is invaluable while in Wallaceburg, Councillor Carmen McGregor lauded the Legion as an integral part of the community.

Zone A3 Commander Irene Williams said the many events held during Legion Week demonstrates how member of the 10 branches in this area contribute to the community.

Although recognizing the sacrifice and contribution Canada’s military men and women have made to our freedom remains at the core of the Legion, membership is no longer restricted to veterans of Canada’s armed forces.

There are more than 1,400 Legion branches across Canada with in excess of a quarter of a million members.
