Our Mission

Our mission is to serve Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance, and to serve our communities and our country.

Since its humble beginnings, Branch 68 has been proudly supporting its community in many significant ways. When you join the Legion, you support the many services we offer to Veterans, serving military, RCMP Members, and their families. Your membership also helps provide essential services within our communities with supporting seniors groups, minor sports, local hospitals, drop-in centres, Cadets, youth and sport programs, bursaries, and much more. There are many ways the Legion gives, and by joining, you, too, can help make this difference.

February 2026 | Volume 1, Issue 2

As we roll toward spring, we’re shining a light on the incredible local businesses who stepped up in a big way for our March Raffle Branch 68 Bylaws.

A heartfelt thank you to Dave Beausoleil Electric and North Simcoe Electrical for donating the Car Detailing Supreme Package — talk about driving into the new season with sparkle and pride. There’s nothing like that first fresh, clean ride after a long Ontario winter. 🚗✨

And to Local Vibes for the cozy LOVE hoodie — stylish, local, and perfect for those crisp waterfront evenings. Supporting community while wearing community… we love to see it.

With over $450 in value up for grabs, this raffle is a beautiful example of neighbours supporting neighbours. Your generosity helps keep our Branch strong and vibrant.

🎟 Tickets: $5 each or 5 for $20 (available at the bar)
📅 Draw takes place at the end of our General Meeting on March 31st.

Let’s show these businesses some love — when local supports local, everybody wins.

📣 Call for Nominations | Branch 68 Name Change

As shared at recent General Meetings, Branch 68 is now inviting nominations for a potential Branch name change in recognition of our upcoming 100th Anniversary. This is a meaningful moment in our history. In 2026, we will celebrate both Branch 68’s 100th Anniversary and the Centenary of the Royal Canadian Legion. A Branch name reflects identity, legacy, and community — and this process offers members an opportunity to help shape how our Branch is known for generations to come.

📄 Nomination packages
• Paper copies available in the Club Room during regular operating hours

🗓️ Submission deadline: April 1, 2026
The intent is to complete the renaming process in time for our 100th Anniversary celebration on November 26, 2026.

We strongly encourage members to take part and submit nominations. Your voice matters, and your ideas help honour both our past and our future.

Thank you for your continued support of Branch 68.
