Hepworth Shallow Lake Legion temporarily closed

The Hepworth Shallow Lake Royal Canadian Legion Branch 586 has been closed until further notice, by order of the provincial president.

The closure is due to a mass resignation of the executive.

Rob Butchart, District C Deputy Commander, said elections will be held January 7 for new executives. The hope is that after a transition period, the branch could reopen in early February.

As a result, a pair of events scheduled for Thursday have been cancelled. The Jam Session at 2 p.m. and Darts at 7 p.m.

All other scheduled Legion events will be cancelled moving forward.
