Volunteering at McInnes Legion Branch 220

At McInnes Legion Branch 220, volunteering is more than lending a helping hand — it is a way of carrying forward a proud legacy while shaping the future of our community. The Legion has always stood as a place of remembrance for those who served and sacrificed, but it is also much more: a gathering space where neighbours become friends, where cultural traditions are celebrated, and where support networks are built for families, veterans, and community members alike.

Volunteers are the foundation of this vision. Every event, outreach program, and remembrance ceremony depends on the generosity of people who are willing to give their time, energy, and spirit of service. By volunteering, you are ensuring that the Legion is not only a place to honour Canada’s veterans but also a living, breathing hub of connection that strengthens the bonds of Inuvik life.

What Volunteers Do

The opportunities to contribute are as diverse as the people who step forward. Some volunteers help plan and host community socials, dances, and cultural celebrations that bring joy and connection. Others lend their skills to remembrance events, ensuring that the sacrifices of veterans are never forgotten. Many assist with fundraising, hospitality, or daily operations, making sure the branch is always welcoming and accessible. Every role, no matter how small, helps weave together the fabric of our branch.

Why Volunteering Matters

  • Honour Veterans – Ensure their service and sacrifice are recognized in meaningful ways.
  • Strengthen Community – Build bridges across generations and cultures in Inuvik.

Your presence ensures that Branch 220 continues to be a place where remembrance meets fellowship, and where every voice adds strength to our shared story.
