The Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) recognizes the need for a post-secondary education to prosper and believes that our young people are the leaders of tomorrow. As a result, the RCL offers to help them with partial financing of a post-secondary education through the granting of annual bursaries.

 

The Bursary Program is designed to assist students entering or continuing their post-secondary education, including courses and programs of a technical and vocational nature, outside of and beyond secondary school. Approved bursary assistance is not based upon scholastic standing but rather on the successful admission status to a post-secondary institution or successful completion of one or more years leading to a recognized degree, diploma or certificate. Students applying for assistance may be granted a Bursary based on documented need, per scholastic year (September to August), as determined by the Branch Bursary Committee.

 

Eligibility, Selection Criteria and Application Forms for our Branch 641 Bursary, can be found on Branch 641 webpage, under the Youth tab

 

All applications must be submitted by October 31st, 2017 for the academic year ending June 2018 and hand delivered or mailed to "RCL 641 Bursary Committee" at the Royal Canadian Legion at:

The latest report coming in from Hydro Ottawa shows that our region (South) is now 3^rd overall in both service interruptions and the total time of interruptions.  This is an improvement from last month's statistics.  The largest and lengthiest service interruption in August was due to a lightning strike which caused a transmission to trip.

This is the 24th year of the GLAD Cleaning the Capital campaign. The annual cleanup campaign first began in 1994 as a springtime cleanup. In 2006, due to the spring campaign's overwhelming success an annual fall cleanup was added. Since 1994, over one million volunteers have participated in over 17,000 cleanup projects throughout the city. As a result, an estimated 930,000 kilograms of waste has been removed from our public spaces.
