“I am honouring Philip Roderick MacAulay, who passed away on June 11. He was a navy veteran and served as president of the Calgary Legion for 20 years. I send my condolences to his family.”
“Mr. Speaker, today we honour the life and legacy of Philip Roderick MacAulay, a long-time president of the Royal Canadian Legion Calgary No. 1 Branch, who passed away on June 11. For more than 50 years, Phil dedicated himself to the Legion, serving veterans, supporting his community and working tirelessly to ensure that the branch remained a vibrant place. A proud navy veteran, Phil spent decades in service, including 20 years as branch president, and earned the Legion’s Meritorious Service Medal. We remember Phil for his humour, his generosity and his unwavering commitment to keeping the Legion relevant for all. Phil’s loss will be deeply felt, especially by his wife of 37 years, Susan, who continues her own service to the Royal Canadian Legion Calgary No. 1 Branch. I will miss Phil at Remembrance Day ceremonies and Legion events, for he was a constant presence. On behalf of this House, I extend our heartfelt condolences. May we all strive to carry forward Phil’s spirit of service and remembrance. Lest we forget.”
