B.C. legions get pandemic-relief funding
VICTORIA — The B.C. government is helping legions get through the financial crunch of COVID-19.
The province is providing $1.5 million in new relief funding to ensure the social agencies can continue providing essential community services to its 47,000 members in B.C., including veterans and their families.
The one-time support will help offset the impacts of the pandemic and recent circuit-breaker restrictions.
The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command has 145 branches, serving veterans, ex-service personnel, seniors and youth.
