When a military member leaves the army, people at the legion may be the last to take care of him. When he leaves military life, there are all sorts of services available to him. That is why we really do not become part of a veteran's life until things start to go poorly. Often, the military member does not know what the legion does and only turns to us when someone suggests that he come see us, that we might be able to help him.
By the time he lands at our doorstep, it is sometimes too late. However, there is always a way to make up for lost time because we have a good partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada, with stakeholders at OSISS, and with all the other stakeholders.
