South Brant Legion:
When the branch received its charter in 1947, its name was the Mount Pleasant Legion. During the Second World War, the people of that area made efforts to keep in touch with those from Mount Pleasant serving in the armed forces. Led by First World War veteran Chester Westmore, the legion proved to be a great morale booster.
They began meeting in members' homes, then moved to a building purchased from the Burford Fair board. Eventually, they tore that down and moved it to a property in Mount Pleasant, purchased from Second World War veteran Karon McPherson.
When that property became too small, members purchased the Octagon House, right in the village of Mount Pleasant, with the name being changed to South Brant Legion in March 1961. That location went on to become a restaurant and is now the site of a very popular spa.
Branch 463 moved to its current location on old Highway 24 home in 1962. (Credit: Brant News 2007)
