By virtue of the power vested in me
I Do Hereby Declare
September 21-27, 2025
as
National Legion Week
in the City of Pembroke.
Whereas the Ontario Provincial Command of the Royal Canadian Legion represents nine Districts which includes 390 Branches, with a membership of over 89,000; and
Whereas the Legion is a non-profit organization assuming the responsibility of maintaining the tradition of Remembrance of those who paid the supreme sacrifice by defending our great nation in past and present conflicts, so that we as Canadians can live in the freedom that we enjoy today; and
Whereas the Legion continues to support and represent our Veterans of past and present with many benefits as a result of the determination of our thousands of dedicated members at all levels of the organization; and
Whereas Legion Branches across the province work together with their affiliated organization, the Ladies’ Auxiliary, to raise funds in support of the many programs within Ontario Command of the Royal Canaian Legion; and
Whereas with millions of dollars being raised from Branch and Ladies’ Auxiliary projects, the Legion supports numerous programs benefitting Veterans, seniors and youth within our communities.
Therefore, be it resolved that I, Ron Gervais, Mayor of the City of Pembroke, proclaim September 21-27, 2025 as National Legion Week throughout the City of Pembroke.
Dated in the Mayor’s Office this 16th day of September 2025
Ron Gervais
