Royal Canadian Legions across the country and here in the Cariboo will be marking a milestone this year. They’ll be celebrating their 100th anniversary since their creation in the wake of the First World War and after its incorporation in 1926. In 1960, Queen Elizabeth the second granted the Legion the word “Royal” and Canada’s Governor General remains the viceroy patron of the Royal Canadian Legion to this day. Over the decades the Legion has been a beacon of assistance through 2 world wars, significant military conflicts and peacekeeping missions. Millions of people have been touched by the work of the Legion and its branches, over 1,350 throughout the country, through good times and bad.
