Calgary's Poppy Campaign Supports Veterans Before Remembrance Day
Poppies and related merchandise to support veterans are available in stores, legions, and online, including the Royal Canadian Legion Amazon store. This marks the second year the Legion has operated an Amazon store selling items like lapel pins, magnets, and poppy flowers in honour of Remembrance Day on November 11.
“The Poppy Campaign is the legion’s most significant fundraising effort, with 100 per cent of proceeds going directly to support Canada’s veterans and their families,” said a Royal Canadian Legion news release on Friday.
The campaign began on Friday and will continue until Remembrance Day. Albertans can obtain pins from the Legion’s online poppy store or by donating at traditional poppy boxes available throughout the province, including at TD banks.
