The Eganville Legion has received a big boost to help them survive the effects of COVID-19. Treasurer and Veterans Service Officer, Claude Jeannotte (jenn-ott), says when the pandemic hit they lost all source of income.
Jeannotte says donations came from the Ottawa Valley and even some outside provinces.
Through the Save our Legion campaign, $83,000 was raised to help the branch in Eganville. Jeannotte says all the money will be used to help the Legion pay their bills.
