"The Capital City Squad, a local chapter of the 501st Legion, has been in our region since 2007. The 501st Legion was initially founded in 1997 to simply provide a collective identity for costuming fans with a penchant for Star Wars villainy. Little did they know that it would turn into a worldwide non-profit organization that currently has more that 4500 members. It is currently celebrating its 12th year of service. The 501st is proud to put its resources to good use through fundraising, charity work, and volunteerism. The 501st is always looking for opportunities to brighten the lives of the less fortunate and to bring awareness to positive causes on both a local and global scale.

While we do not charge a fee for appearances (public or private), we enthusiastically welcome donations made to a charitable organization in the name of the 501st Legion. If you do not have a charity of choice, please ask the participating local 501st members for their favorite cause.
We will be around the Ottawa area as well as events from Kingston to Montreal."
