MOOSE JAW — The Government of Saskatchewan, Royal Canadian Legion’s Saskatchewan Command and the Saskatchewan Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) have announced that the Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program intake for 2025-26 is now open.
Introduced in 2019-20, the program provides grants for building upgrades, operations, events and other activities to advance the work and help strengthen the long-term sustainability of veteran service organizations across the province.
“Our province’s veterans service organizations play a vital role (as) they enrich our communities, preserve local history and work tirelessly on behalf of veterans who have faithfully served our province and our country," said the Hon. Alana Ross, minister of Parks, Culture and Sport.
“We cannot thank them enough for their continued efforts and look forward to continuing to this important work.”
Applications are being accepted until June 1.
In 2024-25, grants were provided to 81 Legion branches, ANAVETS units and other registered, non-profit veterans organizations across the province.
“The Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program has resulted in many achievements and accomplishments,” said Carol A. Pederson, president of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Saskatchewan Command.
“"It is not by chance that our Legion branches in Saskatchewan find success, but by the dedication and hard work of Legion members and the support of the Government of Saskatchewan,” she continued.
“This program ensures the work of the Royal Canadian Legion, directed toward veterans and our communities, will continue. I express the deepest gratitude of the Royal Canadian Legion for the Saskatchewan Veterans Service Club Support Program," Pederson added.
The program is delivered collaboratively by the Royal Canadian Legion’s Saskatchewan Command, the Saskatchewan ANAVETS and the Government of Saskatchewan.
“On behalf of the ANAVETS members, staff and directors, I would like to thank the Saskatchewan government for this wonderful grant program," said Rick Taylor, president of the ANAVETS’ Saskatchewan Command.
“Our units, their members and friends have greatly benefited from these grants during the past years. We have used previous grants for furnishings, flooring, roofs, and appliances,” he added. “We look forward once again to enhancing our units with this year's grants.”
