About the Legion
The Westport Legion is located just outside the picturesque Village of Westport, Ontario, nestled along the beautiful Rideau Waterway System—home to some of the finest boating and fishing in Ontario.
Our newly built patio offers breathtaking views of Upper Rideau Lake, along with the surrounding hills and countryside. Westport is approximately 50 minutes north of Kingston and 30 minutes south of Perth.
The Legion features a large community room where we host fantastic events, Friday night dinners to include our famous Fish & Chips, Wings, Spaghetti and Greek night, tournaments, and regular sports nights. We also have a well-stocked bar, a warm and inviting newly renovated Veterans Lounge with a pool table, dart board, big screen TV and fireplace and a wonderful kitchen capable of preparing full meals for up to 150 people.
With several big-screen TVs, a state-of-the-art sound system, outdoor horseshoe pits, and a variety of activities, there is always something happening. Join us for Monday Night Bingo, Euchre, Darts, Washer Toss, Cornhole, Hamburger Fridays during the summer, Friday dinners year-round, and many special events.
All funds raised support our Veterans, Legion programs, and various community causes.
Stop in and see what we have to offer. We would be more than happy to welcome you to our beautiful Legion, where “Everyone is Welcome!”
