Membership

Imagine membership in an organization that truly makes a difference. We bring people together through sports and social events, support seniors and youth, contribute generously to local charities, and proudly honour Canada’s Veterans.

Does this sound like something you’d like to be part of?

That’s the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 641 Barrhaven.

The Royal Canadian Legion needs you. There are over four hundred (400) branches throughout Ontario with a total membership of over 140,000. In fact, the Legion’s Ontario Command is the largest service-oriented organization in the province of Ontario! We are a Veterans’ community-based, not-for-profit organization self-funded by its members.

The Legion was founded by Veterans for Veterans. We continue to maintain our traditional values of remembrance of those who gave their lives for freedom. Additionally, we look after the needs of Veterans, and their dependants, and those still serving in the Canadian Forces.

Legions throughout Ontario Command also contribute to the well being of neighbours by sponsoring local community programs. Supporting the communities in which we live is one of our main objectives.

At Branch 641, Valour Hall is where everything happens. We handle daily operations, hold meetings, and come together for social events. We also invite the community to join us for darts, cribbage, pool/billiards, line dancing, and other special events.
