Lifetime Contribution

For 71 years, Ken Reimer contributed much of his time and energy to the Royal Canadian Legion. Having served in the Second World War himself, the comradeship he felt with fellow Veterans turned into a dedication to help those in need.

After joining the Legion in 1948, Ken became an important member of the Chatsworth Legion Br. 464 in 1985. There, he held the position of Service Officer for 11 years, only retiring from that role in 2018.

During his time as Service Officer, Ken supported many individuals with Veterans Affairs claims, often travelling great distances at his own expense to secure new resources. He also kept a constant eye on local Veterans, ensuring their basic needs were met.

Ken always made time to help and continually went above and beyond the call of duty. His generosity and determined efforts have not gone unnoticed, earning him the utmost respect from his community.
