Debut collection held soft launch Friday at new office and apartment complex: Branch president hopes for official opening in October
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 members, veterans, elected officials and invited guests attended a soft launch of Branch 25’s new office and apartment complex at 96 Great Northern Road Friday.
Bradford has a long history of creating paintings that honour the Canadian Armed Forces through the Canadian Forces Art Program. “I think it’s really important to honour the veterans. As children our parents really instilled in us that the good life that we’re living right now is because of the efforts of our ancestors, people who fought in World War I and World War II. The military is defending us now all around the world so that we can live a good life. I’m personally grateful for all that they do.
“It’s great that so many people would come together and share in the opening of this museum. It’s spectacular. It’s wonderful. This new building saved the Legion and the museum. We just couldn’t afford to be in that old building any longer. We get to continue our work with the veterans, the community and the Poppy Campaign and the museum. These photos of the people that are here, those are the people that deserve this,” Rouleau said.
“We may eventually open it to the public regularly but for the time being we must figure out security for this building. We don’t want anything else taken,” Breckenridge said, referring to the June theft of the casting of the citation First World War hero William Merrified received.
