The mission of
The Royal Canadian Legion is "to
serve veterans and their dependants, to promote
Remembrance, and to act in the service of Canada and its communities." In essence, the purposes and
objects of the Legion were born of the need to further
the spirit of comradeship and mutual assistance among
all who have served and never to forget the deeds of the
fallen.
It is
paramount that the Legion strives to pass on these goals
and traditions to the families and descendants of our
ex-service personnel and to raise this awareness among
all Canadians.
The major
source of funding for the Legion to accomplish this most
important work is the annual
Poppy Campaign, the foundation of our Remembrance
Program. It is the generosity of Canadians that enables
the Legion to ensure that our veterans and their
dependants are cared for and treated with the respect
that they deserve. This November campaign, which sees
Poppies distributed to Canadians of all ages, serves to
perpetuate Remembrance by ensuring that the memory and
sacrifices of our war veterans are never forgotten.
