BRANCH 160 - What We are About
The Wellington Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 has been a
major contributor to the community of Wellington and
surrounding areas within the County of Prince Edward since
1929.
The legion is not just a place to visit and have a drink we are a
business vital to the community. The role of our Legion is to
support veterans, and RCMP members and their families when
called upon for assistance.
ln addition we are here to support organizations in our community
such as the local Hospital , Hospice, minor Sport Teams , Fire Fighters,
CML Snider School programs and Seniors.
Our building and resources are available for use for Celebrations of Life, Seniors Cards, community darts, entertainment events and meetings. We have kitchen
facilities and can provide meals for all occasions.
In order to remain a strong and vibrant supporting organization in this community we rely, not solely on membership dues, but by the community's involvement and attendance of our events. We thank all those that do attend and look forward to the upcoming events over the next months.

FOOD FOR LEARNING
April 28 2026
Branch 160 Wellington's Rep Kevin Horton was on hand at C.M.L.Snider to present a cheque to Food for Learning Coordinator Tonya Ashford. Also there to accept was Daisy Farrell, Elias Harrington, Chase Cooper, Kenzie Riley and Principal Kathryn Acorn.
The connection between a full stomach and sharp mind is more than just a theory - it is a foundational requirement for academic success. When children have access to nutritious food through our program, the benefits are immediate and far-reaching.
INCREASED FOCUS
IMPROVED COGNITIVE FUNCTION BETTER BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES HIGHER ATTENDANCE
By supporting "food in tummies" you are doing much more than providing a meal; you are providing the fuel necessary for our students to reach their full potential.

The Royal Canadian Legion also made a statement saying their National Headquarters and 1,350 Branches across the country are paying their respect to those who fell during the Battle of Vimy Ridge by lowering their flags to half-mast. “2026 marks the 109th anniversary of the historic First World War battle in France,” the organization said.

December 3, 2025
Quilts of Valour Canada started in 2006 in Edmonton, where a local quilter presented quilts to three Canadian Armed Forces members who were recovering in hospital from injuries they received in Afghanistan. It was her way of saying “Thank You”. In 2009 the Quilts of Valour-Canada Society was formed as a registered national charity. To date, thousands of quilts made by volunteer quilters from across the country to show their appreciation to our injured Canadian Armed Forces members, past and present for their bravery and commitment to Canada and its citizens.
