About the Legion

Kamloops Legion Branch 52 honors and supports Canadian Veterans and ex-service personnel, their families and the Kamloops community. As a volunteer community organization we are proud of our history of assisting Veterans and sponsoring programs in our community.

We invite you to join the Kamloops Legion

Legions across the country including us here in Kamloops are always welcoming new members to keep up with our many services.

We’re always seeking ways to become more relevant to Veterans young and old we offer kinship and brotherhood, and the peer support wisdom of older Veterans who’ve been where you’re at or may be, assistance dealing with the DVA documentation and forms, and most of all…our friendship and appreciation.

This Is YOUR Home, Come Visit Us!

To the community at large, traditionally membership has been restricted to those who have served in the military and their families however, today, associate memberships exist to include all members of the community at large.
