From October 27 until Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians will wear a poppy to show their support for our Veterans, and honour those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
While poppies are given out freely to anyone who wants one, any donations to the Poppy Fund support Canada’s Veterans and their families.
In order to make this show of support happen, we rely on Legionnaires to help distribute poppies in cities and towns across the country. Contact your local Branch today to volunteer for the Poppy Campaign and make a difference for Canada’s Veterans!
Thank you for supporting our athletes
We owe a huge thank you to all our Branches and Legionnaires for all their hard work helping make the Invictus Games National Flag Tour and the Games themselves such a huge success! Check out the cross-Canada photo gallery to see the impact the Games had thanks to our members.
Overcoming all obstacles
The inspirational athletes at the 2017 Invictus Games are proof that anything is possible, no matter the obstacle. Hear from double gold medalist Michael Trauner as he explains how trying is the first step to success.
Rolling out the red carpet
Invictus Games athletes deserve the VIP treatment, and they got it! We spoke with two Officers from the Toronto Police/OPP Motor Unit who were honoured to escort the athletes to and from their competitions in style.
The event of a century
Fans across Canada headed to Toronto to support the athletes in the 2017 Invictus Games, including 101-year-old Veteran & Legionnaire Norm Baker. Get Norm’s take on this exciting athletic event, and hear his unexpected Invictus experience.
Honour your loved ones
Pay tribute to your friends and relatives who have served Canada by submitting a photograph for the Legion’s Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance. The photos will be displayed prior to the National Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11.
The updated Poppy Store is now live
The new Poppy Store is now online! Now it’s easier than ever to find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. All proceeds from the Poppy Store help the Legion honour, support and advocate for Canada’s Veterans.
Our partners at MBNA are giving Legion members the chance to make a difference with their everyday purchases with the Legion Platinum Plus Mastercard. Over nearly two decades, MBNA has helped the Legion raise over $1.5 million in proceeds.

We’re excited to debut our redesigned website and new Member Services Gateway with something for everyone, making it easier than ever to show support for Canada’s Veterans.
Make the most of your membership and get involved at your local Branch
Stay up-to-date on Legion news Honouring Veterans has never been simpler. Visit the new Legion.ca today and register with your new Member Services Gateway to show your support.
Legion members and members of the public interested in supporting Veterans will appreciate the newly redesigned Legion.ca and its improved rich content and new navigation features that make it easy to find any information needed.
With its new user interface and improved interactivity, visitors can quickly get to where they want to be, from the Poppy Store to media inquiries to making connections via various Legion social media platforms.
Something for everyone
The branch locator tool displays information on branches, each with contact information and directions, and the join us button goes to a page with Legion membership information and a form that can be filled in online.
The news link provides the latest information on Legion initiatives and national activities, and advocating for Veterans details how the Legion is committed to ensuring Veterans receive the care and supports they deserve. The support for Veterans area has information on and links to a variety of Legion Veterans’ services such as assistance with VAC, help for homeless Veterans, financial assistance, and contact information for command service officers across Canada.
Members and branches
This section is a gateway to convenient and easy membership information and services. Once members register here, they can view and update their personal information, renew each year via credit card, and/or sign up for an automatic membership renewal payment option. Those interested in becoming members of a specific branch can download a membership form to fill in and take to that local branch.
The new website also allows Legion branches to process all new and renewing members online, gain 24/7 access to up-to-date branch membership records, and run branch-specific reports. Provincial commands can verify the membership status of their members and run their own provincial-specific reports.
In addition, the Legion’s member services team is available to assist members, branches and commands with any questions via membership@legion.ca or 1-855-330-3344.
“This new and improved site is just one tool we are using to streamline our systems and processes to improve member services and support our branches,” says Dominion President David Flannigan. “We want to make and facilitate direct connections that keep everyone informed and involved.”
Founded in 1925, the Legion is Canada’s largest Veteran support and community service organization. We are a non-profit organization with a national reach across Canada as well as branches in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. With more than 275,000 members, many of whom volunteer an extraordinary amount of time to their branches, our strength is in our numbers.
