Royal Canadian Legion leads veterans groups in Canada
The Royal Canadian Legion is the largest veterans organization in Canada with about 580,000 members and affiliates. It operates 1,720 branches in Canada plus 34 in the United States and 3 in Germany, funded by dues and open to Canadian veterans and serving or former members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their dependents. Since 1925 it has campaigned for veterans pensions and benefits, acts as an advocacy body with the government, and runs the National Poppy Remembrance Campaign to honor 114,000 fallen in two world wars and the Korean War. The Legion also supports seniors housing and medical training, youth scholarships, and cadet and scouts programs.
