About Saskatchewan Command

The organization was formed in 1926 with Saskatchewan Command officially formed on February 17th, 1926 with the first Provincial Convention being held in Regina on February 17th and 18th, 1926.

Our organization is a non-profit, membership supported organization. The organization originally started out as a place of support, advocacy and camaraderie for returning military personnel to help with the transition from war time service to civilian life.

Since then the Legion has grown into one of the most respected and loved community service organizations in Canada. The Legion continues to serve veterans, ex-service personnel and their families as well as communities, hospitals, seniors and youth programs.

The Command also operates a service bureau assisting and handling the pension process for our Veterans and still serving members of the armed forces.
