Welcome to the Uxbridge Legion.

Branch 170 recieved its charter in 1930! Active for almost 85 years, the members have met in various places around town including the old post office, and the old marketplace, and finally in the late 40's establishing the location that continues to this day. The original building burned down in 1953, and was rebuilt. It has since had several renovations. It is notable that most of the work on the legion has been done by volunteers.

Our MISSION:

Serving veterans and their dependents, promoting Remembrance, and acting in the service of Canada and its communities.

Join our legion! Branch 170 in Uxbridge Upcoming Events

An evening with Elvis

It was sold out 1.5 weeks before the show !  The Ladies’ Auxiliary hope all that attended had a wonderful time. The crowd seemed pleased to be served so quickly by some of our smartly dressed Branch members. :lol: .

With tummies full, the lights were dimmed and Elvis took to the stage. He did not disappoint. The ladies’ swooned as Elvis sang to them and the men giggled as they were being ” Lei’d” . All in all..     a very enjoyable evening.

Happy New Year 2015

Greetings from Branch 170 Uxbridge

We  bid adieu to 2014  and welcome 2015.  The past year was filled with many exciting events, including the election of a new president.. President Sherrill Hodgson.

We thank past president Jim Rowlands for his service of the past 3 years.

The year has been filled with laughter and tears, may we smile and reflect warmly on the year that has passed and look forward to a prosperous and happy new year.

Participation in many sports functions is continually growing and we hope that all new members will try their hand at something.. The annual Legion Bonspiel is an ever popular event.. especially for the non-curlers! An on-going friendly rivalry with Claremont Legion sees players sometimes playing for the “other” team ! Dart League in the winter and Golf League in the warmer months keep the Legion coffers topped up.

The end of May  saw the Branch spearheaded event ” Uxbridge Thanks our Troops” bring a Griffon Helicopter landing in Elgin Park  and a C130J Hercules fly-by. A very successful event to help Wounded Warriors Canada in their ongoing efforts to provide programs helping veterans transition back to civilian life.

As the leaves began to show their glory, the annual motorcycle Poker Run ” Ride for Our Veterans”  traveled through the Haliburton Highlands with a record number of riders and passengers.. money raised goes to support in house events for our local Veterans.

Elvis paid a visit as did Russell Roy’s comedy review.

The Annual Poppy Campaign was once again a resounding success. We are very fortunate to have such generous supporters. All monies raised stay in the community to aid our local Veterans.

The sun shone brightly on Remembrance Day as we paid tribute to the fallen and living Veterans who we so greatly owe our freedom and liberty to.

Shindig #2 in December saw us raise much needed funds to aid in our ongoing building improvements. Graciously donating their time for this function were 3 local bands, Witness Protection, Hoot and Four Play.

Many thanks to all the  volunteers for their countless hours ,

for with you..

our Branch is a much better place.
