Merrickville Legion – RCL Br245 Information and Activity

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.

Quick Announcements & News

Congratulations go to Branden Schroeder & Lee-Anne Pritchard on placing 3rd in the Doubles at the Zone Mixed Darts. They will go to the District level next in May.

The Legion has purchased two large screen TVs for the Clubroom and upstairs. We hope to put them to use in the New Year maybe Super Bowl watching, with more to come. We will keep you posted as to what we are doing.

President Lee Horning fixed one of the Merrickville Day Cares strollers and noticed that it needed replacing so the Legion has provided the funding for them to purchase a NEW 4-seater stroller.

The Legion provides a free venue for many other organizations and groups. The Historical Society, Merrickville Artists Guild, and the Photo Club have monthly lectures and meetings at the Legion. We have hosted many Celebrations of Life at the Legion that are free of charge, but we do gladly accept donations if possible.

Our TGIF supper and dances are every other Friday night. Supper is served at 6pm and the Dance
starts at 7pm with a live band. You are welcome to come to both or just supper or just the dance but
please contact Mary Horning at 613-269-3234 if coming for the supper. Check out our Facebook page or
