Clearly listed on the outside of the building is this Legion's website address - its the primary tool that they use to communicate to members the planned activities that are coming up and create the archive of photos and stories from previous events.
The Legion uses bingo as one of its primary funding sources throughout the year. The describe bingo as:
"Every Sunday and Monday evening, bingo players gather in the Clover Club (top floor) at the Charlottetown Legion for Bingo that starts at 7:10PM. Snack and refreshments are available for purchase. Players are very welcome to arrive early to socialize and to select their seats.
The Charlottetown Legion has conducted bingo for 50+ years, as a key revenue generator that enables the branch to remain open in order that it may serve Veterans and Canada in fulfillment of its mission and chosen obligations. An important benefit is the opportunity for the community to meet three evenings a week, and to socialize while enjoying Legion Bingo."
