Community Service
The Royal Canadian Legion is a non-profit organization whose purposes
and objectives include: providing support to veterans, ex-service
members and their families; perpetuating the tradition of Remembrance;
and, participating in programs designed to improve Canadians general
quality of life. As
important as our support of veterans and their dependants is, our branch
members find the time and energy to make significant contributions to
our community.
Sir William Stephenson Royal Canadian Legion Branch #637,
support other community based organizations financially, using funds
raised through clubhouse operations, Poppy sales, raffles, events and break open
tickets. Each year, hundreds of thousands of dollars are donated
to other community and service organizations. As well as financial
support, the hall is the main meeting place
for our veterans
and their dependants.
As well as support for others,
Branch #637 operate,
or help to organize and operate many community programs. These include
public safety programs, programs for seniors, transportation, sport and
youth programs.
Turning over the keys!
Bill Harris and Vic Shorey hand the keys, the
second of two new vans, to members of the Canadian Cancer
Society. The donated vans will be used to shuttle patients
to and from appointments.
Bill Benson raised $2160 for the Canadian Cancer Society, through
the sale of his delicious cookies over the last few months. Mrs. Benson is proud of him, as are we all, and glad she can now get
her kitchen back.
2006 President Bill Harris and Poppy Chair Donna Bunting present a $500
donation to the Army Cadets. The Air and Sea Cadets also received equal gifts.
The branch supports the Sunnybrook Veterans On The Move
Program. Our annual luncheon is only one of the day trips we host in gratitude
to those who stood for us.
Youth Chair Francine Doucette and Past President Bill Harris assign
Public Speaking competitors their numbers at the annual event. Just one of the
many youth oriented programs we sponsor. One of our judges looks on.
2008 Public Speaking participants and winners display their
awards at the end of a tough competition. Students from St. John Bosco, Father
Joseph Venini, Beau Valley and Sunset Heights all gave informative, often
entertaining presentations.
