The executive of Zone A-6 and the 3,000 members of the six branches of the Royal Canadian Legion located in London are proud and pleased to be a part of the London Legion Track and Field Alliance. For many years the Legion has supported and conducted the national track and field championship for young people. Any young London athlete who can meet the challenge can progress to be a national level competitor, at any age, with the London Legion.
Some who have participated in this program in the past have achieved the status of international and Olympic level competitors.
To the young people who choose to become part of the London Legion Track and Field Alliance I extend my sincere best wishes and confidence that all will enjoy the challenge and some will achieve the status of international competitors. 3,000 London Legion members will watch your progress with pride.
