Every Legion Branch has a Service Officer and/or Service Committee. You will be able to obtain information on all programs there and they can help you apply. See below for the contact for our Barrhaven Branch 641.

 

You need not be a member of the Legion!

The Legion is here to assist you by completing claims through any agency of Veterans Affairs Canada.

We are concerned that Veterans, Still Serving and Former Members of the Canadian Armed Forces and/ or their dependants may not get all the available government support from Veterans Affairs Canada that they need and deserve.

You may not be receiving all the benefits to which you are entitled. Or you may have a family member or friend who could benefit from speaking to one of our Service Officers.
