The Town of New Tecumseth will have a flag-raising ceremony and proclamation from the Mayor to declare National Legion Week on Monday, Sept. 18.
There are three Legions in New Tecumseth: Alliston Branch 171, Tottenham Branch 329, and Beeton Branch 421.
In total, there are close to 600 members in New Tecumseth.
