On behalf of our members and our veterans, congratulations and best wishes for continued success in the years ahead.
We admire each of your academic and extra-curricular achievements this past year and share in your excitement for future education and experiences.
These awards are handed out annually and designed to support high-achieving, local students with a family connection to military service. If you have a future graduate applying for either the Legion award ($2000) or Bursary ($2500), they should start working on getting their great grand parents military records now if you donโt have them already, so records can be submitted with their application next year.
