The Arnprior Legion Branch 174 celebrated Legion Week with a host of activities Sept. 19 to 26, 2010.
The honours and awards evening Sept. 23 was a chance to recognize long and exemplary service.
Among those receiving pins was Bert Tourangeau, who was recognized for 65 years with the Legion.
Also receiving a pin was Veterans Services Officer Mel Porter, who is available to advise and assist veterans, widows and ex-servicemen with benefits, information, and programs that may be available through the Legion and Veterans Affairs Canada.
Legion officials assure clients that issues are dealt with in complete confidence. Anyone in the community having concerns on the Veterans programs should contact Porter at the Legion at 613-623-4722.
Other Legion Week events included Sunday’s veterans dinner and the businessman’s breakfast.
