Dear
Legion
Presidents,
Executive
Teams
and
Members,
As the
MPP for
St.
Catharines
and the
Official
Opposition’s
Shadow
Minister
for
Veterans,
Legions
&
Military
Affairs,
I am
writing
to share
with you
a
Private
Member’s
Bill
that I
will be
introducing
this
fall.
This
bill is
deeply
personal
to me -
not only
in my
capacity
representing
Veterans
across
Ontario,
but also
as a
mother
with a
son
serving
in the
Canadian
Navy.
Ensuring
that we
properly
honour
our
veterans
and
military
families
is near
and dear
to my
heart.

Soldiers’ Aid Commission - La Commission d’aide aux anciens combattants |

 Chair: Lisa Morris -
seniors@montgomerylegion.ca
The Royal Canadian Legion's commitment to seniors dates back more
than 50 years to when branches first got involved in building low
rent apartment units for elderly veterans, widows and their
dependents.
Today, most branches conduct seniors' programs or
provide services focussed on health care, home support and housing.
At the national level there is advocacy for seniors' rights and
their well being. As well, support is given to the work of other
organizations such as Alzheimer's Canada.
The Legion spends
approximately $2 million and contributes 447,000 volunteer hours
annually to help thousands of seniors across the nation.

Lunch & Learn
On
September 24th, our
branch
ran a Lunch & Learn presentation on Scams, with 20 in attendance.
Constable Stephanie Lemieux of the Ottawa Police
Service gave the presentation, on the most common and current scams.
A
discussion and a delicious lunch catered by Chef Ric
Watson, followed. |
This is a notice to all Legion
branches that the Soldiers' Aid
Commission provides financial assistance to
eligible Ontario Veterans and their dependents.
Up to $3,000 per 12-month period is available to
help cover essential needs such as food,
shelter, clothing, health-related items, and
other urgent expenses.
If you are aware of a Veteran or dependent who
may benefit from this support, please contact
Ontario Command or the Provincial Service
Officer for guidance on the application process
