Royal Canadian Legion Scarboro Branch #13 Building Fund

Royal Canadian Legion Scarboro Branch #13 is located at 1577 Kingston Road in Toronto. In 2022, R.CL. #13's building celebrated 100 years. In 2024, the branch has been challenged with many expensive maintenance bills that come due with having a century old building. Approximately $3000 was required for exterior wall repairs, $3000 for fire safety upgrades, $5000 will be required for new flooring, and over $14,000 for roof repairs. The hall's antiquated furnace is also in its final year of service, and in need of replacement.

R.C.L. Scarboro #13 has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years with its annual Poppy Funds and internally driven Lottery Funds. These funds, as mandated, go directly to needy organizations that serve our Veterans and local Community, and are not used in any way for Legion benefit.

Throughout the pandemic, the R.C.L. Branch #13 asked for help and were thankful to receive Community support with many successful Bottle Drive fund raiser events. It is at this time the branch asks for Community help in raising $30,000 that will be directed towards the pressing needs of our building maintenance. This will help us to remain a vital Community hub (hopefully for another 100 years!) for local gatherings and to be a continuing source of fund raising support for charitable causes that benefit our veterans as well as local Community.

This GoFundMe campaign is registered on behalf of the Executive of R.C.L. Scarboro Branch #13, submitted by Gerard T. Arbour, Membership Chair.

Thank you for consideration.
