Honoring Our Heroes
My Dad, Jacke Pierre Joseph Laderoute (April 17, 1923 – February 12, 1983), served with pride in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles during WWII. My Grandfather, Joseph Pierre Laderoute (1889 – 1954), was a steadfast member of the 90th Winnipeg Rifles in WWI, and later served as a guard for POWs, exempt from active duty after his dedicated service in WWI. My Step-Grandfather, Murney Russel Robinson (December 19, 1923 – March 2, 2005), also stood valiantly with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles during WWII.
These courageous men devoted themselves to serving our nation with honor and selflessness. Their commitment and bravery inspire us to value freedom and unity.
All Branches of the Royal Canadian Legion receive a free membership.

Event Qualifications
What Qualifies as an Event?
We define events as any social gathering or activity that is open to the general public. Whether it’s a festival, fundraiser, launch party, workshop or even a Wednesday Wing Night; it qualifies!
Understanding Qualifications:
Planning an sale? That’s awesome—tie it to an event such as an anniversary or a customer appreciation day. Our goal is to keep the invitations open, so events exclusive to members or private meetings won’t qualify.
Need Help?
