Serving Souris’ Veterans
Our mission is to serve Veterans, including still serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance, and to serve Souris area communities and our country.
By remembering, we pay tribute to members of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP who served to defend our values and freedoms. We also honour those who continue to serve our country today.
Legion members are highly encouraged to participate in the Remembrance Day Ceremony, such as in the Colour Party, falling-in on parade, or with several other tasks. Learn more at the button below, or reach out to the Legion President.

Poppy Campaign
Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11th, tens of millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Wreaths
For generations, Souris families have laid wreaths to honour our area veterans, including those killed in action. Wreaths and cross of various sizes can be bought from the Legion, but must be purchased no later than one week before November 11th.

Memorial Banners
Families and businesses are invited to sponsor a Memorial Banner, which will be hung in Souris from mid-October to mid-November. Banners engage the community by honouring local veterans in a colourful and vibrant way
