Volunteers Always Needed

(Volunteer extraordinaire Sue Browning, seen here volunteering her time, raking the front of the legion)

Sarnia Legion Br 62 provide an array of events and offerings for its members and the community.  In order to be successful, we need volunteers who want to help in any capacity with organizing events, and/or performing minor tasks.    

Whether its keeping our exterior clean by raking, delivering supplies for the bar, or volunteering at events, small tasks performed by many volunteers ensure the operations at the legion go much smoother. 

If you have a trade and can assist with the general maintenance of the building, we would love to hear from you.  

If you are interested, please contact Legion Vice President, Ron Realesmith at 519-328-5009 or email smithron@gmail.com
