Community Involvement
Salmon Arm Legion Branch #62 is proud to be more than a veterans' organization. We are an active and dedicated part of the Shuswap community. For nearly a century, our members have supported local initiatives through fundraising, volunteerism, sponsorships, and community partnerships that make a meaningful difference throughout the region.
Over the years, we have contributed to youth programs, cadet organizations, local charities, bursaries, and community groups, helping to support future generations and strengthen our community connections. Branch #62 also played a key role in establishing the Gardom Lake Veterans Camp and Recreation Area in 1961, creating a lasting legacy for veterans and their families.
Our commitment to remembrance remains at the heart of what we do. Through the annual Poppy Campaign, Remembrance Day services, and commemorative events throughout the year, we honour the service and sacrifice of Canada's veterans while ensuring their stories continue to be shared.
Whether we are raising funds, supporting local organizations, hosting community events, or bringing people together, Salmon Arm Legion Branch #62 remains committed to serving both our veterans and our community with pride, respect, and dedication.
