“No one is a stranger ~ just a friend we haven’t met yet.”
We are a non-profit veterans organization.
Membership is available to all Canadian citizens and Commonwealth subjects as either Ordinary, Associate or Affiliate members.
Our major undertaking is our Annual Poppy Campaign to promote
“REMEMBRANCE”
All funds collected during this campaign are used solely for the assistance of veterans, ex-service personnel and their dependants who are in need.
We support community and seniors programs, youth, sports and Cadets.
The center will assist veterans to find the agencies & services that can get them whatever help they need.
Our Service Officer is available for whatever help a veteran needs.
The center is open to all veterans in the Niagara Region. It offers a place to meet, have a coffee and the opportunity to chat with other veterans.
