Big River Branch 136 was granted its charter on April 23, 1930, with 15 active members. On August 3rd, 1951, the Branch 136 Ladies’ Auxiliary was granted its charter with 15 active members. Every year since 1951, a November 11th ‘Remembrance Day’ service has been held at the Legion hall on Main Street as well as at the schools. In 1953, a cenotaph and flagpole were constructed in front of the hall to commemorate the Branch members’ dedication to Remembrance, veterans, the Branch, and the Royal Canadian Legion and its objectives.
