The Legion is a non-profit, dues-supported, fraternal organization with approximately 1500 branches in Canada, United States, Germany, and Netherlands. The Legion receives no financial assistance from any outside agency and membership is open to all Canadian citizens and commonwealth subjects who subscribe to the purpose and objects of the organization.
From the time of its formation in 1926, the Legion has focused its efforts on the fight to secure adequate pensions and other well-earned benefits for Veterans and their dependants. Acting as an advocacy agent on veterans behalf, the Legion deals directly with the Federal Government to ensure ex-military personnel and their dependants are treated fairly. For more information on the advocacy of the Legions please visit our Commands website by following the link at the top of this page. This site was developed to welcome you into the Legion Branch of Bowness #238, proudly receiving their charter over 60 years ago on December 31, 1947.
We have been around for a while please take some time reading through our website and see what we do, and also check out our upcoming events.
