Today, we celebrate 100 years of The Royal Canadian Legion.
On July 17, 1926, the Canadian Legion was officially incorporated. What began as Veterans uniting to support one another grew into a national organization dedicated to serving Veterans and their families, honouring the Fallen, and strengthening communities across Canada.
For a century, generations of Legion members and volunteers have carried this mission forward.
They have advocated for Veterans. Supported families in times of need. Kept Remembrance alive. Engaged young people. Raised funds, opened Branch doors and brought communities together.
Today, we honour everyone who has helped shape the Legion’s first 100 years—our Veterans, members, volunteers, Branches, supporters and the Canadians who have stood beside us.
Thank you for being part of this remarkable legacy.
As we celebrate our history, we also look ahead. Together, we will continue serving Canada’s Veterans, strengthening our communities and ensuring Remembrance endures for generations to come.
Happy 100th anniversary to The Royal Canadian Legion.
Lest we forget.
