Support Your Orangeville Legion

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 parents or grandparents were members. 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 your Legion also donates to many local charities including the food bank and hospital, and gives support to seniors and youth in our town. Your legion is a nonprofit organization operated by volunteers. You don't have to have been a veteran to be a member. All you need is a desire to maintain the Remembrance and help the community.

Covid-19 generated a huge financial loss since the branch income derives mostly from renting our hall, as well as food and bar sales. Our insurance claim for loss of income due to the outbreak was denied as were all other legions in Ontario. Since the claims were denied, we are asking for your help. Some legion branches did not survive the Covid-19 shutdown.

Please make a donation to your Orangeville Legion, Branch 233 to help us 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.

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

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
