Recreate at your Legion

Legion events are wonderful opportunities to bring friends out and have them discover that Branch #7 is a wonderful place to socialize and host fun get-togethers.

Invite your friends to become members, too.

I encourage all members to be active in developing our Legion as a service club and a positive community within our community.

Authentically,

Darryl Woloshyn

Legion replaced Plaques on the Cenotaph at Memorial Park Circle

Standing in Memorial Park  Circle is the Cenotaph that
immorializes the names of Transcona men and women
who perished in the First and Second World Wars.
Unfortunately, through the confusion after these wars,
a few of the men who served and did not return were
not included when the Cenotaph was created.  This
was only realized within the last two years.  Through
the efforts of the Transcona Historical Museum, the
missing names were discovered and the Transcona
Legion with the help of Veteran Affairs Canada installed
new plaques on the Cenotaph. 
On Sunday, June 5th, 2011 (Decoration Day), new
plaques were dedicated. The President, Jim Sylvester 
had read these names out loud letting everyone know
who they are.  There was also a laying of wreaths to
honour all the men and women that made the ultimate
scrafice.
