Message from the President

On behalf of our Executive and members at Royal Canadian Legion, Bowmanville, Branch 178, I would like to extend a warm invitation to the community to visit us, get to know us, and consider becoming a member.

Our Legion exists for one primary reason: to serve Veterans and their families. But our mission does not stop there. We are also here to serve our broader community, by remembering, supporting, mentoring, fundraising, and providing a place where service, respect, and fellowship still matter.

When you walk through our doors, you’ll find more than a building. You’ll find stories, history, and people who care deeply about honouring sacrifice and giving back. Whether you are a Veteran, a family member, or simply someone who believes in supporting those who served, there is a place for you here.

Membership is not about rank or background, it’s about willingness. A willingness to help, to show up, to lend a hand, and to ensure that no Veteran is forgotten. Our members support remembrance initiatives, community events, youth programs, and charitable causes that make a real difference close to home.

If you’ve ever wondered how you could give back in a meaningful way, I encourage you to visit us, ask questions, attend an event, or apply for membership. You don’t have to do everything, just something. Together, those small acts of service add up to something powerful.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Lest We Forget.

Sincerely,

Alan Haward
President (Branch 178)
