Support
Veterans support
If you are a Veteran, or the family member of one, and you need help — this page is for you and it is not asking you for anything.
The branch Service Officer
Every Legion branch has a Service Officer. Theirs is a confidential role: helping Veterans and their families navigate benefits, disability claims, appeals, and applications for assistance — including assistance from the Poppy Trust Fund where the circumstances fit.
You do not have to be a Legion member. You do not have to have been in combat. You do not have to explain yourself to anyone at the bar.
Contact the Service Officer
Telephone the branch on 613-652-4516 and ask for the Service Officer. Say only as much as you want to.
Email the Service Officer directly at so@legionbranch370.ca, or telephone the branch on 613-652-4516 and ask for the Service Officer by role — you do not have to say why.
That address goes to the Service Officer, not to the general branch inbox and not to the raffle. TBC — the Service Officer’s name is to be supplied by the branch
This page carries no raffle links and no ticket buttons, by design. Somebody arriving here needs help, not a fundraiser.
