Join us for the Major David Peabody Memorial Walk & Ruck as we honour the life and legacy of Major David Peabody, former director of The Military Museums, who died in December 2024. This event both commemorates his life and achievements as a soldier, leader, and historical education advocate. It will offer both civilian and military personnel an opportunity to take part in rucking (or walking without weight) within the grounds of The Military Museums in a 1-km loop while enjoying the sights of historical military vehicles, artifacts, and good company. 

The year 2026 represents a significant milestone - the centenary of supporting veterans, fostering community development, and honoring the legacy of those who have served. Branch #288 invites our veterans, serving military, the RCMP, other first responders and the community to participation in the following activities designed to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legions across Canada to promote awareness, camaraderie, friendship, and engagement.
