Mission

The Royal Canadian Legion/BC Yukon Command: Our mission is to serve veterans (including those currently serving in the military and RCMP members) and their families, to promote remembrance and to serve our communities and our country.

Branch 176: With a 70-year history of serving the rich community of Kits Point through our core mandate, we recognise the vital role of the arts to this community. In support of that community, our commitment to the future includes an enhanced relationship in part by offering flexible and affordable creative space.
