BC/Yukon Command entered into a partnership with Fenety Marketing to produce a series of Military Services Recognition Books. The series is designed to capture the history and heritage of the Legion in British Columbia and the Yukon as well as profile military histories and experiences of Veterans. These books are wonderful tributes to our men and women in uniform and create a proud legacy of duty, service and sacrifice.
The Military Services Recognition Books are available free of charge at all Legion Branches as an educational and community service. Over the last four years, 80,000 books have been distributed to schools, libraries, community and seniors centers.
Everyone is invited to submit a tribute profile and you do not have to be a Legion member. Our interest is to honour all Veterans in British Columbia and the Yukon as their legacy of service, embodies the values we cherish and emulate as Canadians.
Every year Fenety Marketing organizes a telephone canvass campaign for advertising in the books. The proceeds from this revenue goes to the production of the annual books as well as supporting the Legion's philantropic community programs. Through these fundraising efforts, the Legion is able to support a diverse range of health, social, educational and athletic programs in communities for all citizens.
