Pocketpills is the online pharmacy partner of The Royal Canadian Legion. Founded in 2018 by a team of pharmacists and engineers, we set out with the goal of making medication more accessible and affordable for all Canadians.
Pharmacies are an important part of our healthcare system, but the services they provide have not changed much in the last 100 years. Until now, Canadians have been forced to manage prescriptions on their own and pick up their medication in person. We saw there was a need for an easier, more personal pharmacy experience—one that puts you first.
At Pocketpills, you don’t have to lift a finger, we bring the pharmacy to you. Through our easy-to-use app and website, you can fill prescriptions, order refills, buy vitamins, and consult with pharmacists—all from the comfort of home. Most importantly, we offer free delivery, anywhere in Canada. Your medication will arrive at your doorstep, discreetly packaged, as soon as the same day.
If you’re one of the many Canadians taking more than one medication, you know how easy it is to accidentally skip a dose. That’s why we created Pocketpacks: daily dose pill packs, pre-sorted by date and time. We also provide automatic refills so you never have to worry about running out of medication.
Pocketpills does not charge for any of these services. Signing up is free, the only thing you’ll pay for is your medication. We coordinate with your insurance provider to make sure you get the lowest copay possible. By becoming a Pocketpills member, you’ll also be supporting The Royal Canadian Legion, which in turn helps veterans access crucial healthcare services.
Exclusive benefits for Legion members – Sign up now!

We hope you take advantage of all the benefits the MBP partners offer. The savings can pay for Legion membership many times over and are one more way to attract new members to the RCL.
Like many Canadians, you may be concerned about carrying debt into your retirement years, or wondering whether your savings will stretch far enough. HomeEquity Bank empowers Canadians 55-plus by offering an option that allows them to finance their retirement on their terms. If you’ve worked hard to build equity in your home, a reverse mortgage can allow you to tap into that equity while still owning your home and living there.
HomeEquity Bank is a federally regulated, schedule 1 Canadian bank. For more than 30 years, it has exclusively served homeowners 55-plus, operating right across the country.
Now, HomeEquity Bank is pleased to announce a partnership with The Royal Canadian Legion. We appreciate and support the goals of the Legion, and this partnership allows us to provide special benefits to Legion members and their families. We’re proud to play a role in improving the lives of Canadians who have served this country.
Did you know that 42 percent of Canadian home- owners are 55-plus? If you’re among them, a reverse mortgage can help you stay in your home as long as you wish. It allows you to access up to 55 percent of the value of your home, tax-free. Use the funds in any way you wish – travel, wipe out debts or renovate your home – without having to pay it back until you move or sell. HomeEquity Bank has already helped enhance the lifestyles of thousands of other Canadians 55-plus, and 99 percent of them have cash left in the home when the loan is repaid and half have just under 50% of the equity still remaining.
If you think a CHIP Reverse Mortgage could be the right option for you, find out more about your $500 Cash Back Rebate* fromHomeEquity Bank. Be sure to mention that you’re a member of The Royal Canadian Legion. Visit www.chipmoney.ca/Legion or call toll-free 1 (877) 875-2447

Safe Step Walk-in tubs help those affected by mobility issues, making bathing easier than ever before.
Safe Step is pleased to offer Legion members $2000 off the cost of a walk-in tub with full installation. For every Safe Step walk-in tub sold we will also donate $225 to the Legion. As part of Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co.’s initiative to give back, we are proud to partner with The Royal Canadian Legion’s Member Benefits Package and to help our veterans through various programs.
For many people with mobility issues or physical disabilities, what once were considered routine tasks, such as taking and enjoying a bath, can now be perceived as dangerous and challenging. Slippery surfaces, high step-ins and lack of support bars can cause falls in the bathroom that carry serious health consequences.
At Safe Step we understand that to enjoy bathing again, we need to provide the safest walk-in tub in the market that will help our customers remain safe, comfortable and independent. Safe Step walk-in tubs are loaded with safety features such as a low step-in, anti-slip surfaces, safety grab bars and a wider door that make the bathing experience safe again.
