What Cause?

The Town does not pay the taxes (except the York Region portion perhaps)that you cite. It simply writes off the receivable. However, it looks good for your cause.

Here's what I know about the Legion and  taxes. 
Business complained to the government about unfair competition from Legions in the catering  business because they do not  pay property tax.. 
The Federal government is responsible for Veteran's Services. The Province is responsible for property taxes.
So,which ever one was responsible made the decision  to pass the decision on the Legion paying taxes,  to the Regions to decide.
York Region decided there should be no change.
It means  the Region  gets its cut of  Legion taxes, paid to them  by the town.
The Board of Education gets its cut of  Legion taxes from the Town  
On the books, Legion taxes are shown as paid. The Town  takes  funds from general revenue and pays the Region and the Board of Education and of course, receives no share itself. 
In effect, local business  provides employment, contributes to the local economy, pay taxes and a share of  Legion taxes who are competing with them for local business.
 These facts I have learned from speaking to people in the know in the municipal tax business. I have that access.
In the meantime old soldiers do die and veterans are fewer on the ground. Legion services were scant recognition of the sacrifices made by Canadians during World War 1 and 2.
If you weren't there you have  no idea.  
I am not citing things for ' my cause"  I am  providing information 
to people who  might  have an interest but never  a reason to ask.
I think  it's  good for people  to be informed about town business.
I don't know a reason to be coy about it .
In Aurora ,we have two buildings on Legion property whose taxes we are carrying.
They have water and sewers, fire and police protection. Garbage pick-up  and snow plowing and  lit road  access to their property. Soon they will have sidewalks on both sides of their street.  I'm not sure if they are billed for water and sewer service but I do know they don't pay for any of the rest of it.
