Our Outdoor Facilities are newly expanded. Deck, patio and heated arbour invites a friendly social time. The outdoor horseshoe pits give this area a place to hold large outdoor events. And a added bonus, it's licensed! We boast Eastern Ontario's first Indoor Horseshoe Pits. Rain or shine we are ready to pitch.
We host cards, dinners, horseshoes, dart tournaments and other social events to help raise funds for special causes in the Elizabethtown-Kitley Township area.
The Toledo Legion works with the township and volunteers to provide an outdoor rink, (weather permitting).
This area also doubles as basketball court and skateboard area in the summer.
Stop in and see what we have to offer. We'll be happy to see you!

Our History

Toledo Branch #475 of the Royal Canadian Legion, received its Charter in July, 1948 with nineteen founding members.
Members first met in individuals homes in Frankville and Toledo and as membership grew, the meetings were held in the Toledo's Town Hall, a stone building on Cty. Rd. 8, often referred to as the "Royal Bank Building".
In 1968 the Branch purchased the old S.S. #11 School which stood on the site of the present Legion. The Back Room Lounge was built in the late 1960s, early 1970s. The old school house was eventually demolished and present day Legion Hall was completed in the early 1980s.
In 2000/2001, the Horseshoe Club built indoor pits on the far end of the building. This addition complemented the existing outdoors pits already accessible behind the Back Room Lounge. It was also during this time that the Legion fell on hard financial times and a refresh of membership and community spirit has made the hall a viable and community gathering place today.
