Legion updates
LEGION UPDATES
To all the members of Legion 256. With the health consideration of our members at the forefront, and with the Provincial requirements, the executive voted unanimously to shut down the Legion until further notice. This includes all Legion sports held at our Legion and hall rentals. That includes General Meeting.

Donation
To the members of Legion 256, I hope everyone is staying safe and coping well with the current situation we are all in. On the suggestion from Cde Pat Hale, the executive committee unanimously supported an emergency donation of $1,000 each to the Food Bank and Meals on Wheels. Not only do these organizations supply a service to our veterans and their families, they do an outstanding service in our community, and recently are more than ever relied upon to continuing their service during this current pandemic.
