1. Historical overview

• The legion is officially named Legio XX Valeria Victrix (“Twentieth Valeria Victorious Legion”). Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2

• Founded probably by the emperor Augustus soon after 31 BC. Wikipedia+1

• It served in Spain (Hispania Tarraconensis) during the Cantabrian wars (25–13 BC). Wikipedia+1

• It renamed “Valeria Victrix” possibly after a victory under the command of Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus (or at least has that gens/lineage reference). Wikipedia+1

• It played a significant role in the Roman conquest of Britain (AD 43) under Emperor Claudius. Wikipedia+1

• Its emblem was commonly the boar, a symbol used in Roman iconography for the unit. fiav.org+1

• It remained active for centuries into Britain, stationed at Deva (modern Chester). Wikipedia+1

• One major academic work: Legio XX Valeria Victrix — Prosopography, archaeology and history (S.J. Malone, 2006). BAR Publishing+1

2. Re-enactment in Ontario / Canada – what I found

• I searched specifically for a Canadian (Ontario) reenactment group using the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but did not find a confirmed, publicly-active group under that exact name in Ontario.

• However, I found a Canadian Roman-reenactment group: Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix (Cohort I) based in Southern Ontario / north-eastern USA, active since 2004. Principia Legionis

• That group’s website: “members represent a cross between living history enthusiasts and edutainers” and they've participated in museum exhibitions in Ontario (ROM Toronto etc). Principia Legionis

• The source list of Roman reenactment groups reports the Legio XX Valeria Victrix name historically in the U.K. or U.S. context (not necessarily Ontario-based). romanempire.net+1

• So: It is possible that a local group in Ontario uses the name Legio XX Valeria Victrix, but I could not verify one with a current active website or public schedule in my search.
