Innisfil proclaims National Legion Week

Whereas The Royal Canadian Legion is Canada’s primary non-governmental organization providing services and assistance to Canada’s war veterans as well as to serving Canadian Forces personnel; and

Whereas The Royal Canadian Legion is Canada’s primary non-governmental organization ensuring that the memory of and sacrifices made by Canada’s military in the service of this nation shall never be forgotten; and

Whereas Ontario Provincial Command of The Royal Canadian Legion represents nine Districts which includes 390 Branches; with a membership of over 89,000 members across the province who work together with their affiliated organization, the Ladies’ Auxiliary, to raise funds in support of the many programs within Ontario Command of The Royal Canadian Legion; and

Whereas Royal Canadian Legion Branch #547 supports many community programs and activities benefiting veterans, youth, seniors and the elderly within the Town of Innisfil; and

Whereas Royal Canadian Legion Branch #547 embodies, supports and protects the values and ideals of Canadians, such as national unity, service to one’s country and community, citizenship, physical fitness and tolerance.

Therefore, I, Mayor Lynn Dollin, on behalf of the Town of Innisfil, hereby proclaim September 15 – 21, 2024, as National Legion Week in Innisfil.
