Safer Communities Award to the Wolfville Legion

Wednesday, September 10th, 2025 at 10:30am
at the Wolfville Legion, 310 Main Street, Wolfville.

The Wolfville Legion is being honored by Gambling Risk Informed Nova Scotia (GRINS) with presentation of a plaque to acknowledge their courageous decision to remove Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) from their premises, creating a safer and more social environment for our community.

The presentation will be held during the Legion’s weekly coffee gathering – a free will donation will get you a bottomless cup of coffee/tea, sweet treats and a warm welcome.

Since removing the gambling machines and focusing on social events and connection with the community, the Legion has eight times as many members, showing that community well-being and organizational success can go hand in hand.

Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) have wide-ranging impacts, affecting individual people as well as the different sectors in our community.
