Canada Remembers Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CanadaRemembers)

We wear a poppy to remember the sacrifice made by our veterans, and to support people serving in the Canadian Armed Forces as we strive for peace. 

  "Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11, tens of millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. The Poppy is distributed freely to all who wish to wear one, and the Legion gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund." 

Money donated to the poppy campaign around here stays in our community! Each year, MANY high school students receive the Legion College Bursary because of your donations!!
