Friendship with the American Legion

Provincial President, Comrade, M.C. (Dick) Wells attends the Montana state American Legion convention this past June. Attendance at these conventions keeps the lines of communication and camaraderie open on either side of our borders. We have always had a close relationship with our American Legion members and the knowledge gained by our attendance at their conventions and them to ours is beneficial to all.
At the convention, Comrade Dick was presented with the American Legion Friendship Award and Plaque. Congratulations Comrade Dick. This only continues to solidify our strong ties with the realization that we all share one common goal within our organizations.

Nutana Artifacts Museum

WE WERE THERE…….OVER THERE…..

TO COMMEMORATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

The Nutana branch No. 362 and the artifacts room of military history is pleased to present a visual and oral presentation from a Canadian soldier and nurse who took part in the battles, endured the trenches, and practiced in the front-line hospitals during the great war.

During the First World War the population of Canada was 7,500,000. The Canadian Expeditionary Force contributed 500,000 soldiers and 2400 nurses to the war effort. From this number 68,000 soldiers and 53 nurses gave their lives in the line of duty.

The artifacts room of military history features exhibits from more than 2000 items donated by veterans and their families. They have artifacts from the Boer War, First World War, Second World War, the Korean War and peacekeeping missions.

The museum may be contacted through the legion office at (306) 374-6303 or email: theartifactsroom@yahoo.ca
