Federal pandemic financial assistance is coming to Legion branches in Grey Bruce.
Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Alex Ruff says in a statement, he’s pleased to see the support, “Legions across Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound are cornerstones in our communities and are critical to supporting local veterans and their families. It is key that the government provides support to these Canadian institutions to ensure that they remain open and able to support and honour our veterans,” says Ruff.
About half of Royal Canadian Legion Branches are receiving money in this first allotment of a $14 million Veterans Organizations Emergency Relief Fund (VOERF).
