About Mackenzie Branch 414

Mackenzie Branch 414 of the Royal Canadian Legion has served the Woodbridge and Vaughan community for over five decades. Named in honour of the Mackenzie family — a Woodbridge family with a distinguished tradition of military service — the branch stands as a living tribute to all those who served Canada in uniform.

We are a non-profit, volunteer-run organization committed to supporting veterans, serving military members, and their families. Beyond veteran advocacy, Branch 414 plays an active role in the broader community through charitable programs, fundraising, and civic remembrance events.

Our branch is affiliated with the Ontario Provincial Command and Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, Canada's largest veterans' organization with over 250,000 members across the country.

"We serve those who served — and we serve the community they fought to protect." — Branch 414 Mission Statement
