The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 111 building will likely be sold in the near future.

Town of Morris Councillor Tim Lewis is secretary of the Legion. He said the organization will continue in another location once the Legion Morris Branch building is sold.

"We've been experiencing lack of rentals... and our membership is getting older and it's harder to get out and do any fundraising. So we've been experiencing quite a loss month to month just on our operating expenses," said Lewis.

As of right now, the building hasn't been sold.

"We've had a couple of offers of places that we could go to, but nothing is solid yet," Lewis said.

In the last month or two, the Legion hall has experienced a spike in rentals, but Lewis doesn't think this will be enough to support them in the long run. He noted fewer people have been renting the building for socials.

"Socials was a bigger one because you make a little more money," Lewis explained. Whether people are holding socials elsewhere, or the numbers of wedding socials have dropped, Lewis said it's made a big impact.

"We are continuing on as an organization... we'll still be in the community and doing what we can to help out with veterans and their families," he said.

As a result, the Morris Army Cadets, also known as the Manitoba Horse Army Cadets, have moved their location to St. Pierre Community Hall.

"We helped them start out and were their sponsors, basically what we were giving them was free rent in the building," Lewis explained.

Gaetan Fontaine is the Vice Chair of the Cadet Support Committee in Morris.

"The decision to move wasn't an easy one... we had looked at different locations and possibilities within Morris and surrounding areas, and we couldn't really find anything that suited our needs," said Fontaine. He noted the Cadets need space to store their equipment, to parade, and office space is required as well.

A large number of Cadets were coming from the St. Pierre and St. Malo area, and the Town of St. Pierre said they'd be willing to sponsor them and provide some space.

Fontaine added they have 30 Cadets right now and didn't lose any due to the move. The highest number of Cadets was around 50, which the program had two years ago. Fontaine believes this was due to the increased interest generated by their trip to Vimy Ridge.
