The Royal Naval Association was granted Royal Charter in 1954 and the Southern Ontario Branch was founded in 1984. It was established to further the efficiency and well-being of the service; preserve its traditions and encourage recruiting; foster comradeship and esprit de corps amongst those who have served or are serving in our naval forces; perpetuate the memory of those members who have died in the service of their country; provide relief from conditions of need, hardship or distress to persons who serve in or have served in our naval forces and all dependants of such persons; advise and assist members in their search for employment; advise members and their dependants on personal matters such as pensions, compensation, health and social security benefits, and other subjects affecting their welfare; and pursue any of the above for the benefit of members or former members and their dependants of the naval forces of former members of the Commonwealth. The association joined NCVA in 2003.

This association was one of the original members of NCVA. They were established in 1922 to protect, serve and support the veterans of the First World War. In 1947, after the Second World War, the mandate of the WPC remained, but the focus included veterans of both world wars. The War Pensioners of Canada later expanded and offered service to both military and emergency service veterans.

The White Ensign Club Montreal was formed in 1982 as a non-profit association. Their mission was to inform and provide guidance to all serving and former members of naval and ex-naval personnel and merchant mariners, and also to their dependants, on finance and personal administration as well as employment and resettlement on an unbiased, confidential and free basis. The association joined NCVA in 2003.
