The Ukrainian Collectibles Society (Toronto) issued on November 14, 2015 a Canada Post Picture Postage stamp commemorating the Royal Canadian Legion Ukrainian Branch No. 360. CLUB 360 (an acronym for the Canadian Legion Ukrainian Branch) opened its doors in 1945 as a social club for Ukrainian war vet and in 1949 voluntarily joining the Royal Canadian Legion. Toronto's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 360 voted in 1953 to make Konowal its patron, Canada's only Ukrainian Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross, which is the British Empire's highest military distinction. The Branch closed in 2005.
