                            On December 17, 2008 our Legion was destroyed by a devastating

                    fire, it started when a delivery truck hooked some overhead wires which

                started a fire that caused one of our three Propane Tanks to explode.

                                                                   

                                                                   

 

                                                                                             

            We sat up a temporary Legion in the Sussex Mall, where we were able to carry our our day

 to day legion operations and meet the needs of our Veterans. After a lot of meetings,  a decision

 was made to rebuild, we worked with our insurance company and hired a local contractor to 

            rebuild the Legion - We used the same outside walls so the new Legion is 

                          the same size as the old one about 13,000 sq feet. Our new Banquet Room

 can seat up to 360 people.

 

                                                   

                                                        

                                                                                           

                We held our official grand opening on Nov 2, 2008. Greg Thompson,

         Minister of Veteran Affairs was present along with many local dignitaries

                 and special guests.

                                               

                                                                                           

 

                    We had been in the building since mid October and was able to

hold  our normal Remembrance Day Parade and ceremony,

with a reception and meal back at the Legion afterward.
