All memberships in the League are national. However the Dominion Chairman selects carefully-chosen leaders to chair a chain of Branches and Contact Groups across Canada in order to rally members in promoting the League's work in communities where sufficient interest exists. Generally speaking, a Branch contains a larger number of members and a more robust program of outreach activities, while a Contact Group exists principally to provide local media and residents with an additional means to find out about the League's work. While recognizing the value of fellowship amongst members, both focus on outreach, and avoid meeting merely for meetings' sake! New members are automatically put in touch with any existing Branch or Contact group in the area where they live.
The League depends on members' volunteer participation to support such local activities. Ideally, Branches hold occasional meetings recruit new members, raise the League's profile by participating in local events such as mall sales and community fairs, sponsor speakers and celebrate Royal occasions in imaginative ways. They try to make monarchists feel more supported and less isolated in their loyalty, no matter where they live.
As is true of many organizations clubs and societies, Branches are formed based on the availability of responsible leadership from members who naturally have busy lives and other responsibilities. Current Branch and Contact Group locations are listed below as well as the most recent issue of Canadian Monarchist News. If you notice that your area or community is not represented, and would like to assist in exploring the possibility of forming a local group by working with like-minded members, please write the Dominion Chairman at chairman@monarchist.ca or one of the League's Regional Coordinators.
To contact any of the Branches or Contact groups below, you may email Dominion Headquarters at domsec@sympatico.ca.
