Kindersley Legion welcomes federal pandemic aid

The Kindersley Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was pleased to announce that they received financial assistance from the federal government to help with pandemic challenges. The branch applied for and received funding for $12,000.

President Roger Strutt met with Jeremy Patzer, Member of Parliament for Cypress Hills-Grasslands, at the Kindersley Legion Hall on Friday morning to announce the funding and discuss the path forward amidst COVID-19.

“I am grateful for this federal support to this local legion,” said MP Patzer. “I know it will go a long way in ensuring the doors stay open and that the Kindersley branch can continue to serve our veterans and our community.”

MP Patzer thanks Roger Strutt and the rest of the branch members for the incredible work they do in our community. “Their service is invaluable, and I’m thankful for this funding, which will allow them to continue to serve the Kindersley community and beyond.”

“This aid will help us keep our branch open so that we will be able to resume normal operations when the pandemic is over,” said Strutt. “Thank you to the government for supporting our Legion so that we may continue to work for our veterans and our community.”
