Thorold Legion Branch 17

Members and residents are invited to attend a special service outside St. John’s Church at the corner of Clairmont St. and Carleton St. South on Monday Sept. 19th at 11:00 am to honour Queen Elizabeth II.
Everyone is also welcome for a post-commemoration gathering at the Legion Branch after the service. A minute of silence will be held at 1:00 pm to coincide with the silence being held province-wide.

Also, due to directives from Ontario Command our regular General Membership meeting will be cancelled and rescheduled at a later date.

Ruck 2 Remember 2022 at Branch 17

The Ruck 2 Remember is an endeavour put on by 4 to 6 Veterans to raise funds to help get Homeless Veterans off the streets. Over the past few years Leno Di Julio and his team would do a certain number of kms based on the number of Veterans and First Responders who had passed away the previous year. This year the team decided to do something different and they are marching the Bruce Trail from Tobermory to Queenston Heights a distance of 900 kms.

Legion branches along the route will host them overnight, feed them supper and breakfast. The Ruck started on Monday July 4th and they will be hosted at our Branch 17 on Saturday, August 6th on day 34. We plan to hold a BBQ fundraiser (5 pm) and support them by welcoming them to a full Clubhouse when they arrive.

Their goal is to help fund Operation: Leave the Streets behind, a charitable program run by the Royal Canadian Legion which helps veterans that are facing or experiencing homelessness and hope to raise $500,000 for homeless veterans.
