The Royal Canadian Legion's Mackenzie branch in Woodbridge, Ont. is seen in this photo on Feb. 23, 2024. In an “unprecedented” move, a Royal Canadian Legion branch in Woodbridge, Ont. has been shut down due to its “overt association” with outlaw motorcycle gangs, the legion’s provincial leadership team says.
“We learned of the outlaw motorcycle club activities from the police and investigated. In October 2023, after inquiry and for cause, the command suspended the Charter of the Mackenzie branch. We cannot permit the Legion’s name or events to be associated with organized crime.” Moore went on to say that after spending “days, weeks, and months gathering information and discussing the final decision,” the team concluded that “revocation” was the only option.
The legion’s provincial leadership did not indicate that the alleged fraud is in any way connected to the situation involving the outlaw biker gangs.In the letter, Moore added that the building and all of its contents will be sold and any cash remaining after outstanding bills and debts are paid will go toward veteran-centric and community programs and supports.
