In this case, after having lost our first venue, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 292 in Victoria hosted us. Our 2SLGBTQI+ community must assume that by hosting this event, these fair-right,anti-transgender viewpoints must align with that of the Royal Canadian Legion unless otherwise indicated. This behaviour is authoritarian, undemocratic, andinsulting to our veterans and the aim of the Royal Legion of Canada. We are grateful to the Royal Canadian Legion for hosting our event.
