A first-of-its-kind legacy
The Legion Veterans Village (LVV) project is Canada’s first-of-its-kind, integrated centre of excellence for veterans & first responders focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mental health as well as mixed medical and rehabilitative services. Led by the BC/Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, together with Whalley Legion Branch 229 and Lark Group in Surrey B.C., this unique $312-million, two-phase, multi-purpose project is envisioned to be the first of many such projects across Canada.
The Legion Veterans Village is an innovative Canadian project intended to change the current continuum care for veterans, first responders and citizens in the communities it serves. It is more than just a facility; it is a vision to build a stronger and better Legion to serve its members well into the future.
