Our History

RCL Branch 68 Penetang was first established in 1919 and granted its Charter on November 26th, 1926. Join us in 2026, when we will commemorate our 100th Anniversary with Branch Celebrations. More to follow.

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.

Branch 68 Bulletin — Now Launched

We’re proud to introduce the first edition of the Branch 68 Bulletin, created to better connect our members, supporters, and community with what’s happening at the Branch as we approach a historic centennial year.

This inaugural issue marks the beginning of an evolving communication tool. As with anything new, we ask for patience and courtesy as we work through early adjustments and improvements.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome and can be sent directly to

📣 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.
