The Poppy Campaign is underway across Canada.
The Royal Canadian Legion launched the annual campaign on Friday and it runs until November 11th, also known as Remembrance Day.
You can find Poppy donation boxes in grocery stores, corner stores, banks, and other participating locations across the country. The money raised supports Canadian veterans and their families.
The Poppy pin is a symbol of Remembrance for those who have fought for our freedom. It is meant to be worn on your left side, over your heart, and it should be worn between the last Friday in October and Remembrance Day. The Legion also encourages people to wear a Poppy pin while attending a funeral for a veteran or while attending a memorial service.
