A big thank you to Mike Boucher of Twin Peaks Plumbing LTD. for taking time on a Sunday to clean and repair our stove. We appreciate the hard work you provide!

A few of the Branch members and families went for the pancake breakfast at Royal Canadian Legion Branch #10 Nanaimo yesterday. They have a pancake breakfast every month for any one interested.

Thanks for filling our bellies!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated to the bottle drive.

We appreciate all the hard work the cadets, parents, and officers provided yesterday 👏 BZ!

Super Bowl Sunday today!

Please save your empties and bring them to the hall next Saturday February 17 for the bottle drive when you come to volunteer.

For larger amounts of cans if they can’t be brought to the hall, they can be arranged for pick up. Email [email protected] to be added to the list.

We are in the works with making community connections for regular bottle pick ups from workplaces and businesses such as bars and restaurants. If you have any ideas or have a workplace/lunchroom etc please reach out to the page or the email above.

We are so appreciative for the donation of these laptops and we have already put them to use. As a volunteer-led organization we need to be able to zig and zag with the availability and varied commitments of our volunteers.

Congratulations to Jason’s Computer Services on the launch of your “Tech Forward” initiative, and thank you for choosing to support our youth organization.

Congratulations to the Navy League of Nanaimo for becoming the 2nd recipients for January 2024 for the Tech Forward computer donation program. I hope these Dell Laptops greatly help your organization for simplyfying online tasks and education 😊

Thanks to VI Tree for helping us out today! There is still an hour to drop off your tree by donation or your empty recyclables!

Tonight we decked the hall for Amphion's annual Christmas mess dinner.

A big thank you to our volunteers who tirelessly cooked and cleaned all day, our officers who dedicate countless hours to our cadets and to Real Canadian Superstore for answering our call for food donations.

Nothing says “I love you” like a band-aid for a boo-boo. And nothing would make us happier this Christmas than to know that the people we care about are safe and all is well in the world.

Taking a step closer to our happiness goal, may we offer you the opportunity to share your love for others this Christmas by giving the gift of a first-aid kit or emergency kit to your family and friends.
