Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 458
| 714 Addington Street East, Tamworth (613) 554-9201 Our purpose The Royal Canadian Legion has approximately 600,000 members with 1,700 branches throughout Canada, the U.S.A. and Germany. In January 1947, some 30 WWI and WWII Veterans met in Bud Water’s Barber Shop to pursue the formation of a Tamworth Branch of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. In February 1947, the first meeting to form a branch took place in the Town Hall. A provisional Executive was appointed consisting of: R.K. Stinson, President; E.G. Richmond, Sec/Treas; and Executive Members; C.L. Wager, N.L.B. Coburn and Harold Davison. Thus Branch 458 of The Royal Canadian Legion was formed. Since then, the Legion has not wavered in its role of being a service provider to Veterans, community and youth.While Veterans are directly supported through our commitment to the Legion Villa, a residence located in Kingston, we offer an outreach program that assists Veterans in need. Branch 458 is very active in promoting the recognition of Remembrance Day and have reinstated recognition of D-Day in honor of our Veterans. We appreciate public participation in these events.
