No. 1 Legion was where the CCF-NDP was founded

Postby newsposter » Sun Aug 05, 2007 7:33 pm

The old Number 1 Legion on 7th Avenue SW, adjacent to the Encana project, was where the NDP's predecessor, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, was founded 75 years ago on July 31.

Here is a link to a column about that event:

The Legion is a historic site that is not part of the Encana project, but we hear tell that the Encana builders will have project offices on the upper floors of the Legion.
