About Royal Canadian Legion Branch 60
The main purpose of the organization was to obtain a better deal for veterans.
In 1926 a Unity Conference was held in Winnipeg and the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League was formed. The Estevan Branch G.W.V.A became Branch #60, Sask. Command, Canadian Legion.
For a umber of years, meetings were held in a small building on 12th avenue. Later the building was purchased and moved to the site of the present Legion.
During the depression of the 1930’s, the Legion had a great difficulty surviving. Many veterans were unemployed. Most of those who had purchased land under the Soldier Settlement Act lost their farms and no money was available to pay dues.
A number of dedicated members continued to meet, at least on Remembrance Day, and keep a nucleus of the organization.
On November 1, 1926 the present Cenotaph was unveiled as a memorial to seventy-two men of the Estevan District who laid down their lives for the country in World War 1.
The Legion during these years carried a number of fundraising activities including a Crown and Anchor booth at the fair, a Military Ball in the old Town Hall, and an annual mass picnic and Sports Day at the river.
