Welcome to the Merrickville Legion Website

The Legion is a ‘not for profit’ organization whose primary mission is to provide support and assistance to Veterans and their families as well as serving or former serving members of the military, all members of the police services and the community. Founded in 1925, the Legion is Canada’s largest veteran support and community service organization. The organization reaches across Canada as well as branches in the U.S., and Europe. With close to 250,000 members, many of whom volunteer an extraordinary amount of time to their branches, our strength is in our numbers.

Announcements & News

We had a not so good start to the New Year on Jan 1 st as the blower on downstairs furnace went but luckily someone was there. Huge thank-you to Larry from Heat Busters coming to the rescue for us. Fixed the blower but informed us that the furnace needs to be replaced. We are doing a Raffle Fundraiser to help pay for this as it is a costly item to replace. Tickets are $5.00 each and available at the Legion or from members just ask we would appreciate your help.
1st prize is 42000 BTU BBQ that was donated by Rideau Home Hardware, 2nd prize Camper Chair & Portable Cooler on wheels, 3rd prize Utility Wagon and 4th prize $100.00 Gift Card. Draw will take place on Canada Day July 1st at the Legion.
