Legion raising funds for roof repair
Poll
Yes
The Royal Canadian Legion General Stewart Branch #4 is looking to put a roof over their heads. To replace the existing one, of course. The local branch has started up a Go Fund Me campaign to help pay for a new roof. The goal has been set for $20,000 to cover the cost for the immediate replacement of the lower roof with a deadline to reach the goal by May 31.

Still, the need is immediate, and repairs are under way.

These measures include the closure of Legions, and Wetaskiwin’s Legion president Ken Schubert said this is going to be hard on branches, veterans and members.
