Welcome

Welcome to legion161.ca - your source for information about Branch activities and events. Our web site is always changing so use it often to check for new features and updates.

Our branch has a variety of medical equipment available to loan at no charge, from crutches to wheelchairs, walkers, bath seats and more. Contact us if you or someone you know is in need of this type of equipment. Photos of some of it can be viewed here.

To minimize the risk of a second Covid-19 outbreak, Public Health has directed that everyone must wear a mask while in a public place unless physically consuming food or beverage. This includes while waiting to be served or for food and beverage to be delivered, while moving to the washroom and when taking part in recreational activities such as darts, pool and using the VLTs.

Almost every activity offered by the Branch, before COVID-19, is available – albeit with the social distancing twist.  Karaoke however is still considered a high risk activity by Public Health that cannot be reduced by distancing.

Members and guests can:

• play pool, darts and the VLTs.
• Trivia every second week. 
• play Bingo on Saturdays.  the doors open at 5:00 pm and we limit attendance to not more than 80 players, depending upon social groupings - so come early for a seat.  Facial masks must be worn.
• enter the weekly Loonie draw for a chance to win the growing jackpot

Anytime that you visit the Branch, please walk in the Memorial Garden to see what is blooming.  The yellow rose bush dedicated to those who served in Afghanistan is our feature plant at the moment.  However, also visit our Korean Fir, dedicated to those who served in the Korea Conflict - 25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953 and the Hydrangea marking Peace 1945, the end of WWII.

Our responsibility is to provide you with a safe environment, where you can meet with friends and enjoy an outing from home. This is achieved by observing the conditions ordered by the Public Health Office to reduce the risk of transmitting Covid-19.

You can help in providing this safe environment by following the recommended practices

  • don’t use the branch if you have, or have had, a fever or flu like symptoms
  • wash your hands with soap and hot water when possible and use the hand sanitizer provided upon entering the branch and any time you contact common surfaces
  • wear your mask unless consuming food or a beverage
  • maintain at least 6 feet between other people
  • remain seated while using the branch and allow us to serve you at your table
  • don’t share a table with anyone who is not in your daily social  (bubble) group
