Welcome!

President’s message

On behalf of The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #211, welcome to our website. We hope you will find both historical and current information about our Branch and its activities. This is my second term serving as President, alongside returning executive members Cam Jeanson, Phyllis Taylor, Katie Savoy, Sigmund Johannessen, Amanda Wilson, and Ian Whittington.

I am pleased to welcome several new members to the executive, including Ken Wood (1st Vice President), Mark Savoy (2nd Vice President), Joanne Harrison (Treasurer), and Bobbi Sandkuhl (Secretary). Together, we will continue to uphold the values of the Legion and ensure our Branch remains the hub and heart of our community.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank those stepping down from their positions - Norm Anderson, Wendy Anderson, Andy Lemmon, and Joe Sparrow. I am confident they will continue to offer their valuable support in various capacities, as they have in the past.

We invite everyone to visit our facilities and learn more about the many programs and activities available. The year 2026 marks the centenary of The Royal Canadian Legion. In recognition of our 100th anniversary, free membership will be offered to all new members in 2026.

We encourage you to join us, explore the benefits of membership, and become part of the proud legacy of an organization whose core mission is serving Veterans and their families.

 

Comrade Neil VanBemmelen, President, RCL Branch #211
