Legion Approves Name Change For Military

The Royal Canadian Legion is giving a thumbs up towards the name change for the Canadian Armed Forces.

The navy and air force will officially be known as the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Legion spokesperson Bob Butt tells CHSJ News it's a great move that honours our lineage to the monarchy.

He says the only concern the Legion had was if costs associated with the name change would impact operational or quality of life budgets.  He says they were assured that it would not happen.
