The Royal Canadian Legion recognizes the Youth of Today as a pathway to tomorrow. Building a connection with our youth is important for members of The Royal Canadian Legion. Our youth are our future. The Royal Canadian Legion supports our youth in a variety of ways.
Poster and Literary Competitions
Run annually across the nation, our Poster and Literary Competition ensures that the history and memories of our military personnel are kept alive, while giving young people the opportunity to win prizes. Through artwork or writing, the theme of Remembrance is brought to a youthful audience, and the story of sacrifice and pride is passed on.
Legion Track and Field National Events
Athletic meets promote camaraderie and fitness, while giving youth an opportunity to compete on a national Level.
Bursaries
Financial assistance promotes secondary education to family members of Veterans.
Cadet Medals
Our cadets are involved in many aspects of The Royal Canadian Legion. They assist at many functions in local branches especially our Remembrance Campaign. We support them with donations and by recognizing their achievements with the Legion Cadet Medal of Excellence.
