DYK? Star Wars fans are plentiful and enthusiastic fans!
From the groundbreaking original trilogy, imaginations were ignited by the many creatures, ships and so much more that the sci-fi movies brought to the world.
And from the dust of Tattooine and beyond, enthusiastic fans across the globe have banded together to form the 501st Legion, a world wide collection of Star Wars cosplayers and enthusiasts who are on it not only for the commradism but so much more, and a Atlantic Garrison is right here in Halifax!
Fundraising is a top priority for this force welding group, with a recent collection for the IWK at the recent Hal-Con.
You'll see them in parades and spread out across the galaxy for various events, Happy to talk and mingle (even with Rebel scum)
Find more information about them on Facebook (including a webpage link on their page)

"The Atlantic Garrison of the 501st Legion was founded in December of 2018 and comprises Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Formerly, the group were members of the Atlantic Squad of the Canadian Garrison from March of 2017 to the end of 2018. Thank you all for the support! We’re very excited to grow even more and expand the reach of the Empire into the Atlantic.
What does the Atlantic Garrison do? We attend sci-fi, comic, and gaming conventions. Sometimes we visit libraries or hospitals. Other times it’s a parade or an organized walk for a good cause. We love what we do and we do it to help raise money for various charities.
Do you have a movie-quality villainous Star Wars costume? If you’re interested in joining the 501st Legion (and if you’re in Atlantic Canada, joining our Garrison), then click here to get some information on how to join us!"
