What Is A Veteran?
The Legion's
definition of a Veteran
“A Veteran is any person who is serving or who has honourably
served in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or its
wartime allies, or as a Regular Member of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, or as a Peace Officer in a Special Duty Area
or on a Special Duty Operation, or who has served in the
Merchant Navy or Ferry Command during wartime.”
Our great organization, The Royal Canadian Legion, honours
all Veterans including serving Canadian Forces and Royal
Canadian Mounted Police members.
There is no distinction on type of service or where and when
you served.
