Royal Canadian Legion Paris Branch 29 Supports Community with Generous Donations

On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Paris Branch 29, we are proud to share an update on our recent contributions to the community.

Branch 29 has donated $500 to the Paris Ringette Association and $500 to the Meals on Wheels program.

Ringette, a dynamic winter sport created in North Bay, Ontario in 1963, has been played in Paris for decades. Paris Thunder Ringette continues to bring this exciting game to our local community. Learn more at parisringette.com

The Meals on Wheels program, based out of the Paris Fairgrounds, prepares and delivers meals to 51 recipients, with 4 individuals currently on the waiting list. More details can be found here: tinyurl.com/ParisMealsOnWheels

These initiatives highlight the Legion’s ongoing commitment to supporting the people and organizations that make Paris stronger.

We extend our thanks to all members, volunteers, and patrons. Your continued support makes it possible for Branch 29 to give back directly to our community.
