Legion branches across B.C. as the provincial government has pledged $1.5 million to the non-profit organization, which will pair with a federal grant that was given at the end of 2020.In the Okanagan, Legion branches say it will help them immensely.“Any funding we get from the provincial or federal government is pretty much a godsend so we can keep afloat,” said John Cashin, Kelowna Legion Branch 26’s president.“We are thankful for both governments.
If we get the $10,000 from the province, that would mean we got $24,000 from both governments and that will keep our doors open for another six months.” B.C.
