About Earl Haig...

A brief history of the Earl Haig Society

The Earl Haig Society, a registered charity, was formed in 1960 by five lower mainland branches of the Royal Canadian Legion. Our Society's mandate is to construct and manage seniors housing and, of the five Legions, two branches were successful in building projects:

• The Maple Ridge branch built 18 units which opened in 1966
• The Coquitlam branch opened an 18 unit complex in 1962 at the corner on Laurentian Crescent and Austin Avenue (replaced by the Earl Haig Retirement Residence)

The Coquitlam project described above is now 38 years old so the Society decided to utilize our property holding and build a new facility that would cater to the needs of the seniors in our community for the foreseeable future. Hence the Earl Haig Retirement Residence!

The projects are operated by their respective Legions and by volunteers. The chairman and directors' are comprised of Legion Members. The Earl Haig Society welcomes both legion and non legion members.
