Proud to Be a Best Bar None Accredited Legion
Our Commitment to Supporting Dry9 — Creating a Safe, Supportive Space for Every Mother-to-Be
At our branch of The Royal Canadian Legion, community well-being is at the heart of everything we do — and that includes proudly supporting the Dry9 initiative.
Dry9 promotes the simple but powerful message that no amount of alcohol has been proven safe during pregnancy. While many pregnant women still hear that “one drink won’t hurt,” the reality is that avoiding alcohol entirely is the safest choice — and one that deserves encouragement, not pressure.
How We Support Dry9 at Our Venue
We believe making healthy choices should be easy, welcomed, and celebrated. That’s why we proudly offer:
🥤 Free pop or coffee for all pregnant women
🍹 50% off their first mocktail — because everyone deserves to feel included in social moments
These small gestures create a supportive environment where expectant mothers can relax, socialize, and feel respected for their choices.
Standing With Our Community
Supporting Dry9 isn’t just about beverages — it’s about awareness, compassion, and helping remove the social pressure around drinking during pregnancy. We encourage families, friends, and community members to stand alongside those choosing a Dry9 journey, and even consider participating with them in solidarity.
Together, we’re helping create safer spaces, healthier outcomes, and a stronger community — one choice at a time. 💙

We are proud to be the first and only Legion branch to achieve accreditation through the Best Bar None program — a nationally recognized standard for excellence in responsible alcohol service, safety, and community care.
In our very first year participating, we were honoured to place second in our category division, reflecting our ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming, well-managed, and safe environment for every guest who walks through our doors.
As part of The Royal Canadian Legion, we believe community spaces should be both enjoyable and responsible — and Best Bar None helps us uphold that promise.
What Is the Best Bar None Program?
Best Bar None is an accreditation program that helps guests identify venues committed to excellence in responsible alcohol service and management.
Venues are assessed across four key areas:
Venue Management – security, noise reduction, and community impact
Staff Training & Care – professional development and staff wellbeing
Customer Safety & Welfare – including preventing underage service and promoting safe environments
Customer Service & Community – fostering welcoming spaces that support the local community
Accreditation is renewed annually and continually updated to reflect current safety priorities — including the protection of women and vulnerable guests.
Our Commitment
Achieving Best Bar None accreditation — and earning second place in our first year — reinforces what we strive for every day:
A safe, inclusive, professionally run space where our community can gather, celebrate, and feel at home.
When you visit us, you’re not just enjoying a great atmosphere — you’re supporting one of the highest standards in responsible hospitality. 🍻
