Bedford Legion Branch 95

The Remembrance Theme for this year’s Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships is the 10-year Anniversary of the end of Canada’s mission in Afghanistan.

The 2024 Legion Nationals gold, silver and bronze medals presented to the top young athletes in Calgary will visually commemorate that 2001-2014 mission. The image found on the reverse side of the 2024 medals is designed to foster understanding and gratitude for the members of our Canadian Armed Forces who served in Afghanistan.

Bedford Legion has these available

The Royal Canadian Legion NS/NU Command is trying to find the owner of this cane...... from the owner : " I am looking for the owner of this cane. It was found in Halifax, NS at the Halifax Shopping Center about 15 years ago. The owner's initials were likely KAP. Some identifying features include RCAMC F502962, and RCL 1972. It looks like it contains a lot of special memories. I have posted and reposted it on Facebook over the years.".....PM me if you have any ideas and I can fwd your info.

Don't forget, the Bedford Legion Remembrance Day ceremony will take place on Nov 11th starting at 10:45am at the Cenotaph at Fish Hatchery Park in Bedford. Lots of parking near Cora's Restaurant, McDonalds and St Ignatius Church. This year marks the 75th Anniversary of United Nations Peacekeepers. There will be a reception after the ceremony at the Bedford Legion (1772 Bedford Highway) with Heather's World-Famous Chowder, hotdogs, refreshments and comradeship. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.
