The Espanola Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39 has received local and national funding to help support veterans and maintain the branch.
Legion President Gary McPherson accepted a $1,000 cheque from Canadian Tire’s Sharon Goudreau.
The branch also received just over $10,000 in financial aid as part of a federal program.
McPherson says the support on both levels is much needed and much appreciated by veterans and Legion members.
The Legion’s National Headquarters provided assistance through Veterans Affairs Canada with just over $7.2 million dollars being distributed to 701 branches across Canada.
