Don't forget our Wednesday Veteran's Coffee Break!! Start your day with coffee/tea and baked goodies, Wednesday's at 10 a.m. at your Kingston Legion. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A LEGION MEMBER TO ATTEND. If you are a veteran or serving member of the Canadian Forces, an allied force, or the RCMP, please come and join us.
We try to have a Legion Service Officer and a representative from MFS in attendance if you have any queries into Veterans Affairs Issues or programs for Veterans. Don't worry - This is a social gathering, so if there are no issues, just come, sit and chat with your fellow vets. Best of all, it's free! We hope to see you there

The Canadian Armed Forces have confirmed that a previously unidentified grave at Courcelette British Cemetery in northern France is that of Sgt Norman Harold McLennan. His identity was confirmed through historical and archival research.
In April 1905, Norman enlisted with The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) in Quebec. After re-attesting for war service with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in August 1915, then-Pte McLennan was promoted to sergeant and sailed with the RCR to England for training. Arriving in France in November 1915, Sgt McLennan served across the Western Front for nearly a year.
He went missing on October 8, 1916, during the Battle of the Ancre Heights after heavy fighting and a withdrawal from Regina Trench. Initially reported wounded and missing, Sgt McLennan was later presumed to have died in the battle.
Multiple external research reports were submitted to the Directorate of History and Heritage (DHH) and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) regarding a grave in Courcelette British Cemetery. DHH confirmed that the grave could only belong to Sgt McLennan. The identification was confirmed by the Casualty Identification Review Board in December 2025.
His family was notified of his identification, and the CAF is providing them with ongoing support. A headstone rededication ceremony will take place at CWGC’s Courcelette British Cemetery at the earliest possible opportunity.

She also won the COUNTRY'S HOTTEST HITTER award at the Las Vegas Reel Awards.
