The Royal Canadian
Legion's
Definition of a Veteran
In its efforts to better reflect Canadian
involvement in conflicts and peace support
operations, the Legion delegates at the 45th
Dominion Convention voted unanimously to update
the definition of a Veteran contained in its
General By-Laws.
The new definition of a Veteran in the Legion
General By-Laws is now as follows:
A Veteran is any person who
is serving or 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.
