The Youth Group, representing the Hibbert United Church in Staf- fa, was given a tour of the wartime memorabilia on display at the branch, then regaled with a history of the Royal Canadian Legion itself, and the functions and undertakings of the Seaforth branch. Both youths and leaders were invited to ask questions about any of the Legion's activities, and most were quite amazed at the variety of under- takings by the local branch. "They don't know," commented Frank Phillips, who led the tour. "Most live out in the country, and don't get cable television, so they don't hear about the things we do. Unless someone drives them into the town..." The Canadian Legion was es- tablished in Winnipeg at the national conference of veterans groups in November 1925. A frater- nal, non-profit organization, the Royal Canadian Legion (as it became officially known in 1%0) exists to serve the interests of Canada's war veterans and their dependents and ex -service members and their families. The Legion also actively promotes patriotism, national unity and remembrance of the contribution Canada's war -dead made to the building of this nation. The Royal Canadian Legion spends millions of dollars on com- munity activities across the country, and its members contribute thousands of hours of volunteer time implementing its social service programs.
