Exciting News!!! Branch 160 Wellington will be holding its annual golf tournament this year on Thursday September 18th. Registration form below or at the Legion. There will be a $5000 hole in one prize, putting contest, lots of prizes including overall Male, Female and Mixed Team winners.
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!
Membership enables the Royal Canadian Legion to reach out to veterans , supports seniors, provides youth sports programs, raises funds, volunteers to help those in need, or simply offering a place to gather for fun and celebration.
Legionnaires provide essential services in their communities

July 11, 2025 President Peter Campbell was very pleased to present a cheque, on behalf of Branch 160 Wellington, in the amount of $3000 to Brair Boyce, Senior Development Officer PECMF . This donation will be applied to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital's fundraising for a new digital mammography machine for the new hospital in Picton. The County has upwards of 1500 veterans who will benefit from this newest acquisition continuing the Branch's ongoing efforts to support both Veterans and Community in the County.
July 1, 2025 Branch 160 was again part of the Wellington July 1st parade. Unfortunately our flag bearers were not available and so, as the Legion does, it adapts - golf carts fit the bill just fine.
June 30, 2025 Branch 160 held a Chicken dinner - we are very pleased to say it was a great success with well over 100 people dropping in for a meal, a little music and some great socializing.
A very big thank you to Branch 160's new Ways & Means committee AND a very special thank you to the volunteers that came and helped out - we know how important your time is and we appreciate you volunteering with whatever time you may have.
June 2025 - On behalf of the Wellington Legion Branch 160, Kevin Horton presents a cheque for $500 to County Kids Read board members Anne Preston and Wendy Matthews.
County Kids Read is a volunteer-run charity supporting Prince Edward County families. Each month over 600 high-quality books are distributed to County children aged 0-12. This program is designed to support research that shows that home reading improves children's social, economic, and educational outcomes and future. Learn more at countykidsread.ca.
May 14, 2025 Kevin Flynn - Director of Special Projects at Wellington the Lake Residents Association was at the Legion to present a cheque to Branch President Peter Campbell.
Thank you Wellington on the Lake for this donation to Branch 160 - it is very much appreciated.
May 2025 - Branch 160 Rep Buck Buchanan dropped in to Heal with Horses to present to Suzanne Latchford-Kulker a $500 cheque. One way Branch 160 continues to assist the community.
Over the past decade, Heal with Horses has created a safe, quiet, natural, rural setting for people of all ages and physical & mental capabilities to come to interact with our large herd of horses and variety of small animals including rabbits, cats, dogs, pigs, and goats. These interactions include riding, grooming, leading horses through obstacles, playing games, and walking through the fields & forest. This unique blend of specifically developed activities provide proven positive benefits to a person’s overall physical and emotional well-being.
