Effective Monday January 31, 2022, scaled re-opening is set for Operation at 50% capacity. Take-out service, washrooms, bar service, and patio are open to everyone, but vaccination QR codes are required to sit and socialize inside the building until further notice.
Poppy Campaign ! Calling all volunteers!
Dear Valued Members,
Years of connecting with the community meaningfully by Members present and past, have left us a legacy of goodwill and honouring both our heritage and our beloved fallen, that we need to now carry on and forward.
Many of us have busier lives these days, but our solemn obligation moves us to remind our community of our heritage and on whose great efforts and sacrifices we enjoy an era of relative peace and sustaining as a nation and a People.
Please do encourage one another to find just a couple of hours to help the Poppy Campaign– starting October 26 and ending the revered November 11. Your contribution can achieve much.
For further information, please call Veterans’ Service Officer or Poppy Campaign Chair, Bradford Legion
905 775 5025 | Bradford521@rogers.com
Please email the Bradford Legion– (bradford521@rogers.com) — if you are interested in purchasing the 100 year anniversary poppy pin.
Support the Cadets!
Friendly Reminder
Plus, renew your Legion membership before the end of November and your name will be entered into a draw for a chance to have your 2021 membership fee covered by the Branch in our annual early bird draw!
The renewal fee for 2020 Memberships is $53.00 and $48.00 for Seniors.
