The Abbotsford branch of the Royal Canadian Legion recently made donations to two organizations.

The branch donated $6,000 from its poppy sale proceeds to the Silverfox air cadet squadron in Abbotsford.

They also donated $1,000 to The Reach Gallery Museum to go toward the purchase of a new scanner for use in maintaining heritage photographs of veterans past and present.
