About Branch 165
Uniacke & District Branch 165 was formed February 20, 1984, by fifteen charter members. Since that time the branch has grown to its present membership of 225 members in 2011. Following the purchase of 12 acres of land in Mount Uniacke, Branch 165 officially opened its new building in June 1989. Following that occasion, four Community Ball Fields were developed on the property, with the opening of the Murphy Sports Complex being held May 2001. Through its many sports activities and entertainment events, Branch 165 raises funds to support numerous programs in the community such as Christmas Wish Givers, Uniacke & District School Breakfast Program, Uniacke and District Fire Department, Cobequid Multi-Service Centre, Uniacke Softball Association, the Walter Callow Coach Fund and many other worthwhile causes. The Ladies Auxiliary were active from 1990-1998. The Junior Legionnaires were active from 1989 to 1996. Each year, the Remembrance Day Parade forms up at Branch 165 and marches to the Cenotaph. Participants include the Legion Colour Party and Legion Members, Uniacke and District Fire Department, Girl Guides, the Scouting Association, Sea Cadets and members of the community.
