In November 1925, the Canadian Legion was founded in WinnipegManitoba, as the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League. The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League was incorporated by a special Act of Parliament the following year.[1] The Legion grew steadily through the 1930s and then expanded rapidly following the Second World War.[2] In 1960, Queen Elizabeth II granted The Legion royal patronage and it became The Royal Canadian Legion.
