Mission: To serve Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance, and to serve our communities and our country.
About Us: The RCL #7 Britannia Branch first came into being as The Great War Veterans Association “Victoria Branch”. It was formally opened on Wednesday, November 21, 1917 by Governor-General Sir Victor Christian William Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire.
In 1926, we became the British Empire Service League Britannia, Victoria British Columbia No. 7 Branch on December 6, 1926. For the past 97 years, we operated as Royal Canadian Legion, Britannia #7 Branch of the BC/Yukon Command.
RCL #7 Britannia Branch has been an integral part of the community, serving Victoria & area for over 100 years.
RCL #7 Britannia Branch honours and supports Canadian Veterans, including serving military, RCMP and ex-service personnel, their families and the Victoria community.
As a volunteer community organization we are proud of our history of assisting Veterans and sponsoring programs in our community.
We hold bi-monthly meetings and other social events.
RCL#7 is a virtual branch.

*Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.”
“Nothing is better than that feeling you get knowing you are a part of making your Legion the great place that we know and love!"

Did you know that you don't have to be a veteran or ex-military or a descendent of a veteran to become a member of the Legion?
Legions across the country including us here in Victoria are always welcoming new members to keep up with our many services.
We’re always seeking ways to become more relevant to Veterans young and old we offer kinship and brotherhood, and the peer support wisdom of older Veterans who’ve been where you’re at or may be, assistance dealing with Veterans Affairs (VAC) documentation and forms, and most of all…our friendship and appreciation.
