2022 Canada Day
Here are some photos of the Malahat Legion 2022 Canada Day celebration. The day started at 8:30 am with the Malahat Lions serving their traditional pancake and sausage breakfast and coffee. We were honoured to have NDP member of parliament, Alistair MacGregor present our WW II veteran with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pin.
The parade kicked off at 12 noon sharp. Lots came back for free Canada Day cake and music by Turnip the Beet in the Legion’s back yard.
