I have to accept your answer, but I am still not satisfied. At one point, the government handed out money for festivals. Sometimes, there were five festivals in the same region, and all five got funding.
I am not suggesting that the government give money to every Canadian legion, but, at the very least, it could give money to one or two per province. Right now, everything is done at the individual level, and only the locals are attending, but no one else knows anything about it.
I am not sure what you think of my opinion, but in any case....
