Alberta’s Legions – Honouring Service & Community

Alberta’s Legions – Honouring Service & Community

Themed Photo Stop Map | Alberta Road Trip Photo Contest

Across Alberta, Royal Canadian Legion halls stand as landmarks of respect, remembrance, and community spirit. From city branches to small-town halls, these sites honour veterans while serving as gathering places for music, meals, and memories.

The Legions Themed Photo Stop Map highlights Alberta’s Legion branches, encouraging road trippers to stop, reflect, and capture photos that honour both the buildings and the stories they hold.

  • Calgary (Branch 264 – Kensington) – one of Alberta’s largest and most historic
