Carla Wells

Dr. Wells joined the Royal Canadian Legion in 2008, and she served as the Chair of the Poppy Committee in 2010 and 2011. These two campaigns were the most successful in the branch’s history, and her efforts ensured that the branch was able to meet all of its commitments to Veterans and their families in the following years. Dr. Wells has also served on the Membership Committee and as Secretary of the executive. At the Legion, Dr. Wells is frequently asked to assess and advise Veterans about therapeutic practices, and she is always willing to help Veterans learn about ways to improve their health. Dr. Wells often acts as a speaker for seniors’ wellness forums in her community, which many Veterans attend. She continues to help with the annual Poppy Drive and she volunteers at the Legion’s weekly bingo and during the winter carnival week. During Veterans’ Week, Dr. Wells participates in all events, including visiting local schools to speak to youth about the sacrifices of Canadian Veterans.
