Leduc Legion Branch No. 108

Alberta Command was created in 1926 along with other provincial commands at the founding convention of the Legion. It remained a separate entity, although it had a couple of branches in The Yukon, until 1974 when the branches of the Northwest Territories joined to form Alberta-NWT Command.

Like all other Commands, Alberta’s grew most rapidly after World War II. At its membership peak there were almost three hundred branches and over 70,000 members in communities from one corner of the province to the other. Between the creation of The Royal Canadian Legion in 1926 and 1940 there were 145 charters issued to branches in the command. Between 1941 and 1950 there were 109 more charters issued; from 1981 to 1990 only 2 new branches were chartered and since then there have only been sporadic requests to gain a charter.
