The Poppy Campaign gets underway across Canada today.
This is done every year, from the last Friday of October until November 11, as Canadians honour Veterans and “never forget” by making a visual pledge wearing a poppy.
During the three-week period, Canadians can pick up poppies online or by donation at several national businesses. The money raised will then directly support veterans and their families.
In Lethbridge, the General Stewart Branch No. 4 held a launch event on Thursday, October 24 to recognize the campaign. Volunteers will begin delivering the boxes on Saturday, October 26, along with a tap box for the public to make donations.
