Veterans and Seniors Service

Have you served in the Canadian Forces or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? This one question can open a new chapter in a person’s life and show that the Legion, as partners in our communities, care about those who served our Country— our Veterans*. “Operation: Leave the Streets Behind” is a program developed by The Royal Canadian Legion to identify and assist homeless Veterans and those at-risk of homelessness. Financial assistance can be provided for items such as first and last month’s rent, rental arrears, medical needs such as dental, eyeglasses, transportation to medical services, furnishings, food, and clothing. Eligibility includes any Veteran or family member in need of assistance and living in Canada as well as Veterans of Commonwealth and allied countries living in Canada.

If the above description applies to you or someone you know, please contact me directly through the Branch email address.
