Ladies
Auxiliary
 Most,
but not all, branches have Ladies and/or Junior
Auxiliaries which come under the jurisdiction of the
Branch. Major contributors to the day to day life of
the branch, auxiliaries provide financial and
volunteer support to Legion programs.
Any woman who is eligible for membership in the
Legion may choose to become a member of the Ladies
Auxiliary only, or a member of both.
Members of the Ladies' Auxiliary support the aims
and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion and their
dedicated service enriches the programs and
activities of the branch.
