We stand at a critical juncture for our beloved Rossland Legion.
Your support is urgently needed: https://portal.legion.ca/join.
As one of the oldest Legion Branches in Canada, Branch 14 holds a proud legacy spanning generations.
However, we face imminent threats to our existence, jeopardizing both our cherished Legion building and the very essence of our Branch.
Why act now?
The landscape has shifted.
With the passage of time, the veteran population has dwindled, leaving a void that imperils our continuity.
While recent reforms have welcomed all Canadians to join the Legion, the response has been tepid.
It’s time to revitalize our membership and safeguard our heritage.

Consequences of inaction:
Loss of Heritage: Without your support, the legacy of Rossland Legion faces extinction.
Financial Seizure: In the event of closure, BC Command will claim our assets, depriving our community of much-needed resources.
End of an Era: Our cherished Legion will fade into history, leaving a void in our hearts and community.

We understand the demands of modern life but believe that each of us can spare a few hours to safeguard our legacy. Whether attending events, meetings, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your involvement is our lifeline.
