Each year, Branch 96 of the Royal Canadian Legion endeavors to select an outstanding member of our branch who goes above and beyond the normal expectations of a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. This years recipient of the “Legionnaire of the Year Award” is comrade Jack Dickey.
Comrade Jack has shown, that not only this year, but every year since he was sworn into the Legion that he more than meets the criteria for such an award.
