Administrative history
The Sexsmith Legion #60 was formed in 1927, receiving its charter from Dominion Command in 1928. Walter Spry was the president and there were twelve charter members. The Branch served many surrounding communities including Bad Heart and La Glace. The legion helped veterans obtain pensions and services for disabled WWI veterans. In 1937 the Legion had CFGP broadcast the Remembrance Day ceremony from the newly constructed cenotaph. With the return of WWII veterans it was decided that there was a need for a hall in Sexsmith and over the next ten years with donations and volunteers the hall was completed. The Sexsmith Legion Branch also supported sports and events including minor ball, hockey and track and field. The Ladies Auxiliary was formed in 1950 to support the Legion and its activities as well.
In 1978, Sexsmith Branch #60 celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Custodial history
