Fraser Lake Legion Kitchen Renovation Means More 'Meals on Wheels' For Community

2012-Unlike many other Royal Canadian Legion facilities in Canada, the Fraser Lake Legion is thriving, and was in need of an upgrade in order for the kitchen to be adequate for the number of meals that are prepared at the facility. When the kitchen was first built, it was meant to facilitate the occasional meals that the Ladies Auxiliary prepared. Since then, the demand has continually increased, especially since the implementation of the ‘Meals on Wheels’ program that involves the preparation of up to one hundred meals per week that are delivered to homes throughout Fraser Lake.

In addition to high demand, the Health Authority and the Fire Chief have required the Legion to ‘operate at restricted capacity’ until necessary improvements are made to meet required Food Safe standards. In order to meet these standards, the installation of a venting and fire suppression system, three sinks, new appliances, new flooring, and expanding the size of the kitchen and storage space were the main focus of this important project.

In order to make these improvements to the facility, the Royal Canadian Legion secured funding from multiple funding parters, including Northern Development.
