CONVENIENTLY LOCATED
Branch #91 (Langford) houses not only the Legion itself but also the Goldstream Food Bank Society, Christmas Food Hamper, Emergency Social Services, Metchosin & South Vancouver Island Lions Clubs, Boy Scouts & Girl Guides.
In 2002 the Legion celebrated its 75th year of Service to the West Shore Communities in Victoria. We annually donate 90K to these communities through social activities, supporting seniors, developing youth leaders as well as those who’ve suffered illness or injury arising from Military service.
Branch activities include carpet bowling, shuffleboard, pool, darts, cribbage, and a slo-pitch ball team. Seniors or regular teams, there is something for everyone.

THE SERVICE OFFICER
The volunteer Branch Service Officer (BSO) at the Langford Legion assists veterans and serving military personnel in two key areas.
The primary focus is on navigating Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) regarding claims processing and procedure.
Secondly, access to various emergency funds (Poppy, benevolent, VAC and Allied Forces) for retired veterans experiencing considerable financial distress.
Access to these emergency funds involves the completion of a financial means test and confirmation of honourable service in any of the three elements.
BSO’s have access to some aids to daily living, such as two- and four-wheel walkers and a few electric scooters. BSO’s are familiar with programs to assist personnel who are experiencing housing insecurity.

LADIES AUXILIARY TO BC/YUKON COMMAND
In the Ladies Auxiliary to BC/Yukon Command we have 80 Ladies Auxiliaries. Each Auxiliary holds monthly meetings with the exception of July and August.
Our funding is raised through catering events, bake sales and the operation of licensed gaming events such as bingo and/or raffles. We look after veterans in hospitals such as George Derby Centre, St. Vincent’s Brock Fahrni Pavilion and the Lodge at Broadmead (Victoria) and provide Christmas gifts for the veterans in these facilities.
We visit the sick and shut-ins throughout BC/Yukon Command. We work with our Branches on various projects such as the Annual Poppy Campaign and BC Senior Games. We also help with funding the Chair of Family Practice and the Legion Foundation. We purchase tracksuits and backpacks for BC athletes attending the national Track and Field Championships and clinics.
We are always looking for new members.
Read more about the Ladies Auxiliary to BC/Yukon Command. It is a group of women/men who work together to further the aims and objectives of The Royal Canadian Legion; which is first and foremost the welfare of ex-service personnel and their dependents.
