REGINA – The Saskatchewan chapter of the Royal Canadian Legion says it has cancelled events hosted by a group discussing the province’s separation from the rest of Canada.
Chad Wagner, the legion’s executive director in Saskatchewan, says he made the decision based on Unified Grassroots’ public statements on separation.
He says such calls don’t align with the legion’s founding principles and nor do they promote Canadian unity.
Unified Grassroots has an online petition calling on Saskatchewan to negotiate new terms with Ottawa or look at separating from Canada.
The group says the eight meetings it planned to host at legions across the province were cancelled.
It says the town halls were meant to promote civic participation and that the legion should reconsider.
