The essence of The Royal Canadian Legion is to serve veterans and their dependents, to promote Remembrance and to act in the service of Canada and its communities.
Remembrance is the sacred sentiment which bonds all citizens, bringing everyone together in brotherhood to share in moments of reflection, sorrow, fellowship and gratitude,
The Royal Canadian Legion within BC/Yukon Command embraces a leadership role for Remembrance, honouring this sacred responsibility serving all citizens.
When communities come together to "Remember" the Fallen…to "Remember" why Canada is a benevolent Nation…and to "Remember" why Canadians are respected as great humanitarians…it is the Legion who is there to lead the way.
