We will remember them!

The Hawkesbury Legion is very saddened to announce the death of WWll Veteran and long-time member Mr. Claude Guy Lalonde.
Mr. Lalonde was just a few days away from his 107th birthday.
He was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, WWll Canadian Veteran.
Our sincere sympathy to Mr. Lalonde's family and many friends.
He will be missed.

La Légion de Hawkesbury a la profonde tristesse d'annoncer le décès de M. Claude Guy Lalonde, vétéran de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et membre de longue date.

M. Lalonde aurait eu 107 ans dans quelques jours. Il était l'un des plus anciens, sinon le plus ancien, vétérans canadiens de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Nous présentons nos sincères condoléances à la famille et aux nombreux amis de M. Lalonde.

Il nous manquera beaucoup.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures in our Legion family! A special salute to the military dads who have spent Father's Days deployed, away from their loved ones. Thank you for your service.

TODAY IS THE DAY WE CELEBRATE THE CLASS OF 2026!
Swan River Branch 39 has much to celebrate as two of our student employees are walking across that stage to receive their Grade 12 Diploma and we are very proud of them. Bronwyn and Dallas started working in our Legion kitchen a number of years ago (likely 5 or 6). They have worked Tuesday's and Saturday's keeping our Legion guests happy and well fed! About a year ago Dallas moved on to Kal Tire to more hours but we haven't forgotten him. We appreciate both Bronwyn and Dallas and wish them both well in what ever future they decide to pursue!
Congratulations Bronwyn and Dallas - enjoy your Grad!!

REMINDER: There is no Chase The Ace or Meat Draw June 20th as we continue to celebrate our Grads!
