Bob Thomas is a retired Canadian Forces Veteran. As a long-standing member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Bob dedicates himself to supporting veterans: particularly those of the Canadian Provost Corps. He is a charter member of the Canadian Association of Veterans in the United Nations Peacekeeping and former Vice-President and Secretary of the Canadian Provost Corps Association. In December 2017 Bob received The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers and in 2025 he received the King Charles III Coronation Medal, for his exceptional volunteer achievements.
Bob will explain to us how the Waterdown branch of the Canadian Legion was established in 1954 in order to support veterans and their families. He will also tell us about the history of the legion throughout the years and their community involvement.
We will try to hold this as a hybrid meeting, Zoom link will be added closer to the event.
Doors open at 6:30pm. At each of our meetings there is a brief period allotted to the business of the Society, followed by a speaker, or presentation on some aspect of local history or heritage. There are also refreshments and conversation which play an important part in keeping alive the Community spirit. We hope to see you there!
