National Legion Week 2025: Partnering in the Canadian Ex-Pat Community

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

Founded in 1999, the Digital Moose Lounge is the San Francisco Bay Area’s longest-standing expat community for Canadians.

As Canadian ex-pats in the Bay Area, the Digital Moose Lounge is grateful for the partnership and mutual support of Branch 25 of the Royal Canadian Legion. The Royal Canadian Legion represents community leaders who embody fellowship and service. The Legion’s work helps us stay connected to our roots and honor our veterans.

The Digital Moose Lounge shares in many events, from our Canada Day Picnic to our special Canadian Thanksgiving in October. We are grateful to have members representing Branch 25 in full uniform, supplying us with poppies and stories so we may honor and never forget the spirit of remembrance and solidarity.

Thank you, Branch 25, and Congratulations on celebrating National Legion Week.

National Legion Week 2025: Reflecting on the Legion and the Canadian Diaspora

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.
