Legion Manor Victoria

What Legion Manor Victoria does

Legion Manor Victoria is a non-profit, multi-tiered retirement community located on a five-acre campus at 7601 East Saanich Road in Saanichton, British Columbia, operated by the South Vancouver Island Housing Society under the governance of a volunteer Board drawn from local Royal Canadian Legion branches. The community serves seniors aged 55 and older through three integrated housing tiers: 78 affordable independent living one-bedroom apartments with an income eligibility ceiling of $3,500/month gross (individuals) or $4,500/month (couples); 48 private-pay assisted living one-bedroom suites offering meals, housekeeping, laundry, utilities, basic cable, and a 24/7 emergency response system; and 20 subsidized assisted living suites funded and serviced through partnerships with Island Health Authority and BC Housing's Independent Living Program. Each assisted living suite includes a private patio or balcony, a kitchenette, and a double-wide walk-in shower, with heat pump climate control in newer units.

The business is operated with a lean team of 11 employees and benefits from extensive volunteer involvement and charitable donations under registered charity number 10799 7488 RR0001. Revenue is generated through subscription/recurring monthly rents across the three tiers, supplemented by donations that have financed capital expenditures including a 12-seat wheelchair-accessible community bus, a 7-passenger medical transport van, building renovations, and grounds improvements. Its distribution model is direct-to-consumer: prospective residents apply in person, by email, through downloadable PDF forms, or via the Island Health Community Care Access Line for subsidized placements, with priority given to Veterans and their spouses. Marketing leverages the official website, a Facebook page, the Royal Canadian Legion's 16-branch, 10,000-member network, and direct phone and email inquiry channels.

Beyond the core retirement community, Legion Manor Victoria operates a partnership with Veterans House Victoria in Colwood, BC, providing day-to-day support for transitional housing and reintegration services for ex-military personnel, including connections to Veterans Affairs Canada benefits, career transition services, and military-trauma-informed counselling.
