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.
Many of you have asked for a copy of this beautiful Remembrance Day song created by a local artist Mike Johnson. Mike lost five great uncles (five brothers) in WWII. This was played at Branch 160's most recent Veterans Dinner and Wellington's Remembrance Day ceremony - so here it is with Mike's generous approval to share - enjoy!!
You don't have to be a veteran to join!
