Service Officer

Comrade Rosemarie Block is the Service Officer for West Vancouver Branch No. 60. She has also served in various other executive and committee positions for numerous years. The duties of a Branch Service Officer are many and varied. Some of the particular aspects of Legion service work are:

Disability Pensions (Widows included)

Treatment Regulations

Benevolent Funds

Legion Poppy Funds

War Veterans Allowance

Social Assistance

Burials, including CPC, DVA and Last Post Fund

Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement

Canada Pension Plan or Quebec Pension Plan

Housing

Veterans Independence Program

The Branch Service Officer is not expected to know all the details of Veterans' legislation, etc. That is why the Legion employs both Provincial and Dominion Command Service Officers to assist in this regard.
