REGINA — Applications are still open for funding through the Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program, but the deadline of June 1 is approaching.
Introduced in 2019-20, the program provides grants up to $30,000 to organizations such as Legion branches, Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) units, and more. The grant is used to support facility upgrades, operations, events and other activities to advance the work and help strengthen the long-term sustainability of veteran service organizations across the province.
In 2024-25, grants were provided to 81 Legion branches, ANAVETS units and other veterans organizations across the province, including two facilities in Prince Albert.
Last year, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 2, in Prince Albert, received $30,000 to help replace a leaky roof. In previous years, the Branch also received funding to repair sidewalks, renovate bathrooms, replace heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit and two windows, paint the building exterior, install outdoor lighting and upgrade their parking lot.
The program is delivered collaboratively by the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command, the Saskatchewan ANAVETS and the Government of Saskatchewan.
More information about the program, guidelines, applications and eligibility are available through the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command at 306-525-8739 or [email protected].
