Branch Executive

At Stony Plain Legion Branch 256, our vision is to create a community where everyone has access to the resources and support they need to thrive. We believe that by working together, we can build a brighter future for all.

We have grown from small beginnings in January 18, 1951 with 8 founding members and no money to a membership of 500 as of January 26, 2017.  With due diligence, slow planning, smart money management and thousands and thousands of volunteer hours, we have made it.   

From the very beginning we worked hard to obtain the land that our building sits on today, to put together a community league hall, construct our main hall, and create a rink dressing room which was our bar and kitchen along with a school annex on the west side that is our office and entrance. That was in May 1987, nearly 30 years ago. Our population of Stony Plain was just over 3,000; today's population of Stony Plain is over 17,000.    

A dream comes true, after 66 years in our community the Royal Canadian Legion & Ladies Auxiliary of Branch #256 hosted a grand re- opening of our newly renovated facility on January 28, 2017.   You have to see it to believe it - we are so proud.    Our new renovation includes a lovely new lounge, proper handicap washrooms, and a new state of the art kitchen.   We are very proud to say that this new addition is paid in full. Our Legion will be able to carry on all the wonderful work and commitments that we have taken on over the years in our community and surrounding area.   

While our primary purpose is serving our Veterans and their families, our Legion has been able to step out of the box and donate thousands of dollars to our community of Stony Plain and the County of Parkland. 

  In 2026, our Branch 256 is celebrating its 75th year being a leader in the Stony Plain and Parkland community.
