The Legion in Westlock is very active in the community. This extract from a story in the Westlock News is a testament to that fact:
The main hallway at the Westlock Legion is becoming a record of its charitable track record and a place to commemorate those people who have gone before.

It’s the work of Mel Primrose, who has hand a hand in the Legion since he started dancing there 30 years ago.

Nominally the Legion’s executive in charge of Saturday Night Socials and Housing, he has spent the past six years renovating the hall, as well as organizing a wide variety of entertainment.

There are four sets of small plaques on the wall. They serve a range of different purposes, he said, from highlighting the Legion’s many donations to acting as a small memorial to previous members.

“We’re quite proud of our donations,” Primrose said, adding the value of the contributions on the plaques is close to $1.5 million. Furthermore, the plaques only include major pledges since 1991.
