The Royal Canadian Legion’s annual poppy campaign launched throughout Canada on Friday, with Branch 76 hosting a ceremony to mark the occasion
It’s poppy season, with the Royal Canadian Legion launching its annual poppy campaign throughout the country on Friday.
“People will be able to find our boxes at a lot of different locations,” poppy chair Bernadette Lamirande said, listing off various locations encompassing a wide variety of businesses. Donations go toward “any charity that can show us they help the community, but specifically that they help veterans,” Lamirande said. “We really try to take care of our veterans.”
Last year saw Royal Canadian Legions celebrate the 100th anniversary of the poppy being worn as a symbol of remembrance in Canada.On Friday afternoon, a larger poppy flag was raised behind MIC Restaurant at the corner of Falconbridge Road and The Kingsway, measuring 4.5m x 9m. The flag replaces an older one of the same size which has been raised for the past couple years, and was installed by RufDiamond Ltd., whose owner, Daryl Adams, is a 12-year veteran of the Canadian Forces.
As for location, they note: “The poppy should be worn with respect on the left side, over the heart. The Legion’s lapel poppy is a sacred symbol of Remembrance and should not be affixed with any pin that obstructs the poppy. Also available through some branches is the Legion's reusable black centre poppy pin to affix your lapel poppy.”
