This story is a part of Branch 25’s on-going National Legion Week campaign.

I have had the privilege of collaborating with U.S. Branch 25 of the Royal Canadian Legion throughout my tenure as Consul General of Canada in Northern California.

From their engagement with local schools to the annual poppy campaign, Branch 25 plays a vital role in championing and organizing activities honoring Canadian veterans. The Branch has maintained and expanded the strong Canadian presence in veteran commemorations throughout the Bay Area, increasing the recognition of Canadian veterans among the local community and Canadian diaspora.

Their efforts foster a deeper understanding of our shared history and reinforce the enduring ties between our two nations.

During National Legion Week, I am deeply honoured to recognize the leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment of Royal Canadian Legion, U.S. Branch 25 to increasing recognition of the contributions of Canadian and allied veterans in the Bay Area and Northern California.
