The President of the Royal Canadian Legion in Dryden is thanking the community for their support.
Doug Miranda says they asked for public help and everyone has come through.
Miranda reports their Go Fund Me campaign is almost at $14,000.
He adds personal, business and service club donations is over $9,000.
During a virtual Remembrance Day ceremony Wednesday an appreciative Miranda stated “Dryden. You should pat yourself on the back by helping us keep our Legion. Thank you!”
Most Legions aren’t eligible for government COVID-19 aid packages.
Miranda also used the ceremony to pledge his support for Veterans.
“The Legion will continue to advocate on your behalf with government to work together, to make your life easier, by helping and with finances.”
