The Royal Canadian Legion Mount Benson Branch 256 held a ceremony today to commemorate the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Let us never forget the more than $10,000 Canadian lives that were lost during this battle.

Thank you to all those who attended the ceremony today.

As The Royal Canadian Legion marks its 100th anniversary, we are proud to introduce the limited-edition Legion 100 commemorative tulip—a living tribute to a century of service and sacrifice.

Developed in collaboration with the Canadian Tulip Festival, this symbolic flower reflects a shared history rooted in Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands during the Second World War. Its distinctive red and white petals evoke the spirit of Remembrance, while its upward form looks ahead to the Legion’s next century of impact.

Planted this year, these tulips will bloom in spring 2027—serving as a powerful reminder of the legacy built by Canada’s Veterans, and the continued support they deserve.

Proceeds from bulb sales will directly support the Legion’s programs for Veterans and their families, as well as the Canadian Tulip Legacy.

Join us in celebrating 100 years—and help plant the future.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from The Royal Canadian Legion 256 Mount Benson Branch

A Mother’s Irish Wish ☘️

A shamrock holds a mother’s prayer
For the child she loves who is not there.
Across the miles, through skies and seas,
She sends her hope on every breeze.

May courage guide each step they roam,
And faith lead every hero home.
Like fields of green in spring’s embrace,
May peace and safety fill their place.

To every military mother holding pride and worry in the same heart today, you are not alone. Your strength, love, and support are part of the service that protects our nation.

May today bring a little extra hope, a little comfort, and the reminder that a sisterhood of military moms stands beside you. 💙🍀🇨🇦
