Legion Tribute Train

Join us for the Legion Tribute Train, a special excursion celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion. Hosted by the Wheatland Express, this commemorative event brings the community together to honour those who have served while enjoying a scenic railway experience through the beautiful Wakaw countryside.

Guests will board the excursion train for a 3.5-hour journey, featuring Legion presentations, storytelling, and moments of reflection recognizing the contributions and sacrifices of veterans.
