Surrey, British Columbia
Mr. Tony Moore served with the British Army and had a tour of duty with the United Nations in Cypress.
He has held a number of positions over the past 24 years as a member of several branches of The Royal Canadian Legion in Alberta and British Columbia, such as Parade Marshall, 1st and 2nd Vice-President and President, and Poppy Chairperson for the Peace Arch Zone of The Royal Canadian Legion British Columbia / Yukon Command. In addition, he was instrumental in helping secure the future of The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 229 by hosting a variety of fundraising events, such as themed dance nights and free membership Legion dinners.
He takes part in the Guitars for Vets campaign, in collaboration with a local musician and a musical supply company, by getting old guitars refurbished and giving them to Veterans suffering with PTSD.
He is also working with the City of Surrey to put together a project titled Legion Veterans Village. This redevelopment of the Whalley’s Corner area in Surrey will house a PTSD Centre and a Centre for Robotics (electronic prosthetics and exoskeletons). Additionally, an attempt to secure social housing for Veterans and other members of the community in the village is under way.
