"Royal Canadian Legion Br. 103" - Athabasca, Alberta - Legion Posts and Branches on Waymarking.com

The fourth Tuesday of every month is when this Legion hosts its regular meetings (except July and August). They are held in the Branch Lounge and start on time. They welcome all Members in Good Standing at the meetings and anyone wishing to pickup membership information may do so there.

On the side of this Legion is a mural dedicated to Canada's military and peacekeeping forces. It is located on the south wall of the Legion and was designed and painted by Dennis Jacobs of Water Colour Memories. The painting was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Legion in 1999.

The mural depicts scenes of Vimy Ridge, battle scenes of World War I & II, and United Nations Peacekeepers.

The mural covers all aspects of Canada's military - the Army, Navy and Airforce. In addition, the role of today's United Nations Peacekeepers are also depicted, a role that includes both military and humanitarian support.

Memorials dedicated to Canadian soldiers from locations such As Vimy Ridge are depicted. Details have been well captured, almost photograph like in many cases.

In addition, the artist has included an inscription dedicating the painting to Canada's forces. The mural is well located in town for even the passing visitor to have an opportunity to view it.
