The Jervis Bay Memorial Legion Branch 53 is getting more money than they expected from the provincial government.
Premier Shawn Graham was in town today to see the new Legion on Bayside Drive and to present a check for $50,000.
Premier Graham says he decided to give the project some extra money because he wanted to do it right the first time.
President Terry Murphy says he is looking forward to the comradship the new Legion will bring, and says six new members have joined before they have even opened.
