FOR YOUTH

Among the many and varied youth programs and activities fostered by the Legion,

Branch 233 is proud to sponsor 1849 "Lorne Scots" Royal Canadia Army Cadet Corps, Orangeville and 85 "Tornado" Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Grand Valley.

Through diverse and interesting activities rooted in citizenship, leadership and physical fitness, cadets learn about self-discipline, time management, mutual respect, teamwork and self-confidence all in an atmosphere familiarizing them with the customs, heritage and operational activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

We are reaching out to our community for help. Many of you have enjoyed a meal, played bingo or attended one of our many other events. There have been many members over the years, perhaps even your parent or grandparent were a member. Almost everyone has fond memories of our Orangeville Legion which was founded back in 1935.

The legion supports our military veterans and their families. In our community our legion also donates to many charities including the food bank, hospital and gives support to seniors and youth in our town. Our legion is a nonprofit organization which is run by volunteers. You don't have to have been a veteran to be a member, just have a desire to help us keep the Remembrance and help the community.

Due to having to close our branch back on March 16th because of Covid-19 our financial loss has been severe, as our branch’s income comes from renting our hall, as well as food and bar sales. Our president, Barry Kimber, put in an insurance claim for loss of income due to the outbreak, but we were denied as were all other legions in Ontario. Our branch was counting on receiving money from our insurance company, but since the claims were denied, we are asking for your help. Some legion branches will not survive this.

Please make a donation to our Orangeville Legion, Branch 233 to help us to be able to continue making more great memories for the people of Orangeville. Please remember every little bit helps, all small donations do add up, and we appreciate any help you can give. Thank you

If you prefer to donate by cheque please contact the legion. Thank you for your support!!!!

THE LITTLE LEGION WITH A BIG HEART Comrades and friends of the R.C.L. Br 233 Orangeville. More good news about this community that we are a part of. This afternoon, the branch was paid a visit by the Northerners MotorCycle Club. Just a fantastic bunch of riders from the local area who truly like the freedom of getting on their bikes and getting out and enjoying themselves. Not only did they come visit us, but a bunch of their friends as well (cars of course). It was great to see so many new people come and spend some time with us. But, there was an added surprise. They came to make a donation in support of this legion. Randy Duncan, who spoke for the group, let us know that a great many of the riders had relatives who had served this country of ours (W1/WW2), with some making the ultimate sacrifice. He further said, that as a group, the discussion had was that with the Legion being in need, they had to do something. He mentioned that due to the covid-19 crisis, their club has been unab
