Some Legions remain closed while some are open

Rosalind Russell
By Rosalind Russell

Royal Canadian Legions across Ontario had the option of reopening earlier this month as part of Stage
Three of the COVID-19 provincial sanctions.
However, several have decided to remain closed for at least another month.
Massey #432, Blind River #189 and Little Current #177 all remain closed although some are continuing
to fundraise, such as hosting take out nights with no contact.
The three all plan to remain closed for at least another month to see how COVID-19 Stage Three unfolds
and the protocols are updated.
Espanola #39 and Gore Bay #514 have chosen to open and both have COVID-19 protocols in place.
For more information, contact your local branch.
