Remembrance Day: Supporting Veterans in Canada
The Royal Canadian Legion's national poppy campaign is underway, running from October 31 to November 11, to support veterans and their families.
The campaign, which adopted the poppy as a symbol in 1921, commemorates the service and sacrifices of fallen soldiers, inspired by
John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields".
- Poppies are available in-store and online for anyone who wishes to wear one, with the legion asking for a donation to the Poppy Fund.
- Traditional poppy boxes can be found at thousands of locations across Canadian communities.
Donations collected during the campaign are held in trust at each branch, supporting Canada's veterans and their families.
