President’s Message
Happy New Year. I hope that everyone will enjoy a wonderful 2023.
The month of December was filled with many activities that our members and patrons enjoyed. We had a sold out New Year’s Eve dinner and dance that was a total success! On behalf of those who attended, I want to thank our dedicated Entertainment Committee, Billie’s Kitchen staff, and our wonderful bartenders for an outstanding way to greet the New Year.
Our Branch has grown in business, in membership, and in support to our local communities and veterans. You can indeed be proud of “The Legion at the Crossroads”. Our marketing plan is to continue to promote this great facility to our local communities of LaSalle, South Windsor and Southwestern Tecumseh, and to our industrial parks in the local area. We encourage our current members to help promote this venue and to help us recruit more members. Remember that we do not only support local initiatives, but also District (SW Ontario), Ontario Provincial Command, and our National Command initiatives. We want to continue to be a welcoming center for our serving and retired members of the Military, Police Forces, EMS, Fire and Rescue, and all our first responders working in our hospitals and clinics.
We are also going to focus on youth in our communities. We want to support local sports team, encourage young adults form 20-40 to make this their local pub and place to host events. We want businesses to know about our halls that they can rent for business meetings and use our wonderful Billie’s Kitchen to support their events.
Finally, as a New Year’s resolution – why not consider finding an area of interest to volunteer in your Legion Branch. Volunteers have such a marvelous and positive effect on our operations; and you also feel good in the achievements you see.
May this year bring you hope, happiness, good health, and joy!

Our Members
“From an early age in school and during my time in Army Cadets, the Legion was always there to support the youth. As a veteran who served 40 years and 2 months in the Canadian Infantry, I saw first hand how our Canadian Legions supported their veterans and serving members of our great military. As a member of a Legion, I thoroughly enjoy the comradeship and many activities. There is no better organization or club to belong to.”
“The Legion is important to me, with a friendly atmosphere where you can visit with friends, partake in sporting events or play cards. You can even enjoy a friendly drink of your choosing along with some great food.”
“My father, Frank Friesen, was a Canadian WWII Veteran who fought in the Netherlands & Germany. He lost a leg to a Schu-mine less than a month before the war ended. I am a Legion member to honour him and those who have served our country then and now. “Proudly Serving Those Who Served!”
