Our first year for our veteran banners was very successful with 36 banners. Thanks to all families for sponsoring your veteran. Special thanks to Robyn King, Desjardins for sponsoring six banners. Our branch sponsored the banners for Pat and Gord McCutcheon, “Mr. Legion” as he was called to thank Gord for all of his efforts in getting our branch built in this beautiful location and for his work on the building committee for the Legion Terrace.
