In 1959, the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League dropped “British Empire” from its name, becoming The Canadian Legion.

On December 19, 1960, Queen Elizabeth II granted royal patronage in recognition of the Legion’s outstanding service to Veterans and communities, authorizing the use of the prefix “Royal” and the Royal Crown in its insignia. In 1961, the organization officially became The Royal Canadian Legion.

On May 29, 1926, the first Legion badge, said to be made from Manitoba gold, was presented to the Governor General, Lord Byng of Vimy. Its design has remained largely unchanged, becoming a lasting symbol of the Legion’s identity and commitment to Veterans, Remembrance, and community service.

DYK that before 1956, Legion membership had stalled at around 164,000? At that year’s national convention, delegates voted to include a subscription to The Legionary—a magazine covering Veterans’ stories and national issues—with membership dues. The magazine provided members with a valued source of information and perspectives from across Canada, helping to boost engagement. Membership grew by roughly 120,000 over the following years, aided in part by the magazine’s ability to connect Veterans from different eras and regions.
