The Royal Canadian Legion was formed through the merger of several Veterans’ organizations, with the Great War Veterans Association (GWVA) as the most prominent. Founded as the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League at the Unity Conference on November 25–27, 1925, it aimed to support Veterans, advocate for their rights, and promote Remembrance. Incorporated on July 17, 1926, it became a distinct Canadian organization, a date now recognized as the Legion’s official anniversary. In 1959, “British Empire” was dropped from its name, and in 1961, following royal consent, it became The Royal Canadian Legion. Originally focused on First World War Veterans, the Legion soon expanded to support Veterans of later conflicts.

Today, the Legion is Canada’s foremost Veterans’ organization, with Branches and Members honouring service, promoting Remembrance, and supporting Veterans, RCMP members, their families, and communities.
