WHO ARE THE LADIES AUXILIARY
The Legion Auxiliary (LA) is a diverse and inclusive organization that unites women with familial ties to Legion members, encompassing mothers, wives, daughters, stepdaughters, nieces, sisters, granddaughters, great granddaughters, and widows. This testament to familial bonds establishes a network of support, commitment, and shared responsibility.
Daughters, stepdaughters, nieces, and sisters represent the next generation, injecting fresh perspectives and energy into the organization. Meanwhile, granddaughters and great-granddaughters infuse youthful vibrancy, securing the longevity of the Legion's mission. Within the LA, widows discover solace and companionship, forming a support network rooted in shared experiences.
Operated separately from The Royal Canadian Legion, the Ladies’ Auxiliary is a non-profit organization that thrives in tandem with the Legion. Originating during the First World War, these women played a crucial role in supporting wounded Veterans and their families. As The Royal Canadian Legion was established in 1926, these women seamlessly integrated into Legion Branches, continuing their tradition of volunteering to aid ex-service personnel and enhance branch programs and activities.
Ladies' Auxiliary Objective
The members of the Ladies' Auxiliary shall be available to assist the Branch in its activities. As the individual Branches are the most important element in the structure of the Royal Canadian Legion, thus the Ladies' Auxiliary becomes a very integral part of the work of the Legion at all levels.
Becoming an Auxiliary member can be a very rewarding experience. Our Auxiliaries goals are important to us, and so are our Members! They ensure that activities are planned for you to enjoy as well. It is recognized that not everyone wants to or can give the same time commitment to the Auxiliary, but we are grateful for whatever time you can spare to assist with the work of this great national organization.
