This former Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command building was located at 3709 5th Avenue in Regina when Blasterz visited here in 2019.
In 2021, the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command moved to a new location at 2267 Albert Street in Regina SK CAN. Blasterz cannot blame them: The location we visited was in a rough part of town, quickly getting rougher.

"Currently located at 2267 Albert St., Regina. The Command office moved approximately 1 ½ years ago, when they bought the building they are now using. Prior to that, they were located on 5th Ave. in Regina. The Saskatchewan Command was officially formed on February 17, 1926, when the first Provincial Convention was held in Regina.
This is a non-profit organization, supported by membership. It originally started out as a place of support, advocacy and camraderie for returning military personnel to help them transition from war time service to civilian life. Since then, the legion has grown into one of the most respected and loved community service organizations in Canada. The Legion continues to serve veterans, ex-service personnel, and their families as well as communities, hospitals, seniors, and youth programs. Saskatchewan Command of The Royal Canadian Legion has a provincial membership of approximately 9,000 members. This includes 163 Legion branches throughout the province."
