LETHBRIDGE – The Annual Poppy Campaign of the Royal Canadian Legion is underway, which will provide the public with poppies to honour veterans.                 

The General Stewart Branch is distributing poppy boxes to over 425 locations in Lethbridge, Coaldale, Raymond, Magrath and Stirling this year.

Young people in the community are launching the campaign on Saturday, Oct. 27. Guides, Scouts, 4H, and Cadets will be at various locations throughout Lethbridge with Poppies. 

“Each year these dedicated youth volunteer their time to ensure a successful start to the campaign and remind all of us of the importance of remembrance”, Chair of the General Stewart Poppy Committee Pat McIntosh said.
