Poppy Campaign is in full bloom
The poppy is the most notable symbol when Canadians think about Remembrance Day.
Local Legion branches across the country run the Poppy Campaign from the last Friday of October to November 11 annually. The public is able to take a poppy and leave a donation. This serves as visual representation of support to Canadian veterans who have served or currently serve in the armed forces.
Money collected during this time goes into a trust fund that is used for assistance to veterans as well as their families.
