Supporting our local Community

Supporting our local Community

 

Executive member Todd recently met with Coach Billy Drewitt, trainers and youth in attendance at the Maple Ridge Boxing Club to present them with a $500 donation.

Maple Ridge Amateur Boxing Club has been around for over 50 years and is currently under the direction of four dedicated volunteer coaches who have all competitively boxed with the MRABC as youth/young adults and returned years later to give back to their community. We’re proud to support their great work in our local community.

Pride month 2025

Pride Month 2025

Members of Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ community have made important military contributions. They have seen pride and achievement and discrimination and persecution.
 
For most of Canada’s history, the military officially barred members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community from serving in uniform. This legacy of discrimination meant most of their stories were deeply buried. More recently, research has brought many inspiring and heartbreaking stories to light.
 
The story of 2SLGBTQI+ military service in our country involves many trailblazing Canadians. Historical records cannot always tell the full story.

National Volunteer Week – Ladies Auxiliary

National Volunteer Week - LA

The Ladies’ Auxiliary is a non-profit organization operated separate from The Royal Canadian Legion… but together they thrive.

The Ladies’ Auxiliary originated during the First World War when women were asked to help wounded Veterans returning home, and to provide supports for their families. When The Royal Canadian Legion was established in 1926, these women were a welcomed addition at Legion Branches as they continued the tradition of volunteering to support needy ex-service personnel, and to enrich the programs and activities of the Branch.

Members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary support the aims and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion and today, they are a vital and integral part of the work of the Legion. Major contributors to the day-to-day life of Legion Branches, Ladies’ Auxiliaries provide financial and volunteer support to Legion programs.

The Ladies’ Auxiliaries are coordinated at the Branch level. Any woman who is eligible for membership in the Legion may choose to become a member of the Ladies Auxiliary only, or a member of both organizations.

This year alone the Ladies Auxiliary (LA) have raised just over $9,000.00 through catering, meet and 50/50/draws.

The LA’s have donated $6,850.00 to the communities of Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows and continue to support veterans in need.

Donations to date:

  • Friends in Need Food Bank
  • North Therapeutic Riding Association
  • Fraser Valley Fusion Softball
  • Emerald Pig Theatrical Society
  • Variety Club Children’s Charity
  • Maple Ridge Secondary Wrestling Team
  • Maple Ridge Secondary Basketball Team

Other causes the Ladies raise money for:

  • Guide Dogs, Alberta & BC
  • Maple Ridge Hospital Foundation
  • Parkinsons

There are 40 Ladies Auxiliary Members serving Branch #88.

By participating in meat draws, 50/50, monthly lunches and the like you are supporting the LA’s and by extension the donations they provide to the Legion and the community at large.

When you see them, please thank them for their service.
