Legacy Place Society Partners with RCNBF to Support Royal Canadian Navy Members
For Immediate Release
Calgary, Alberta – Legacy Place Society is excited to announce its new partnership with the Royal Canadian Navy Benevolence Fund (RCNBF). Their generous donation will provide critical support for Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) members by sponsoring a room in each of the Legacy Place Houses.

This partnership reflects the shared commitment to mental health and emotional well-being. The RCNBF’s sponsorship plays an important role in supporting the healing and recovery of RCN members.
