Advocating for change
Canada’s Veterans served to protect the very rights and freedoms we enjoy today; we owe them our commitment to ensure they receive the benefits they need and deserve. The Royal Canadian Legion firmly believes this country has a solemn obligation owed to our military members.
The Legion advocates for the care, benefits and wellbeing of all Veterans and their families. Nationally, the Legion is actively advocating for a list of measures that, if adopted by Canada’s Government, will have a positive impact on our Veterans and their families.
Below are the some of our key areas of advocacy:
- Veterans Well-being Act
- Lifelong financial security
- Access to benefits
- Transition to civilian life
- Mental Health
- Families
- Research and treatment
- Homeless Veterans
- Seniors
- Death benefits
In addition to national advocacy efforts, the Legion works at the provincial and local levels to advocate for Veterans and their families.
