Support for Veterans
The Legion's Veterans Services Network serves all Veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and their families providing support free of charge.
​The Legion offers a variety of programs, resources and referrals to support Veteran health, transition to civilian life, financial assistance and well-being.
We provide assistance, to any person who is serving or who has honourably served in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or its wartime allies, or as a Regular Member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or as a Peace Officer in a Special Duty Area or on a Special Duty Operation, or who has served in the Merchant Navy or Ferry Command during wartime. The Legion also assists their eligible family members.​
