National Legion Week
September 20-26, 2026
A WEEK TO CELEBRATE YOUR BRANCH
This year’s National Legion Week offers a great opportunity to educate visitors on the good work your local Legion Branch does in their community–even more meaningful as we celebrate our Centenary year.
The objective of National Legion
Week is to reinforce and celebrate the important role Branches play in our
shared mission to serve and support our Veterans and contribute to our
communities. It’s also a great way to attract new members and volunteers.
DATES
National Legion Week is held each September, with start and end dates that vary slightly from year to year. It kicks off on the third Sunday of the month in honour of Battle of Britain Day and wraps up on the following Saturday.
This
year, it runs from Sunday, September 20 to Saturday, September 26, 2026.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
During National Legion Week, Branches are encouraged to hold open-house style events and activities that meet their needs and showcase strengths that appeal to specific communities. With our Centenary celebrations continuing and the October start of the Poppy Campaign just around the corner, the media already is paying attention to the Legion and some reporters already are seeking out sources for local stories.
Whatever your goals are, you can
check these tips and suggestions for engaging members, potential members and others as well as earning media coverage.
