Earlier today, Branch President Michael Barbour represented the Royal Canadian Legion at the Digital Moose Lounge’s annual Canada Day Picnic at Coyote Point Recreation Area.

Earlier today Mayor Daniel Lurie invited the Consul General of Canada to San Francisco City Hall for the Canada Day Flag Raising Ceremony to honor and celebrate the enduring friendship, shared values, and vibrant cultural ties between San Francisco and Canada.

The good folks at the consulate arranged for a variety of individuals to be invite to the event. Branch President Michael Barbour was pleased to be on hand to represent the Royal Canadian Legion.




For folks who haven’t been to San Francisco City Hall before, it was quite the place.
As we’ve mentioned in the past, we have several members who are also members of the Army, Navy and Air Force Association in Canada (ANAVETS) – Unit #19 (Mexico).
Earlier today, the ANAVETS Mexico chapter hosted a wonderful Canada Day party at La Palapa Guayabo, in Chapala Mexico. Great food, excellent music and a crowd of over 150 Canadian, American and Mexicans party goers made for a memorable celebration.
