The Poppy Campaign runs from the last Friday in October to November 11th. Every year, tens of millions of Canadians wear
a Poppy as a visual
pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and
remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.
While the Poppy is
distributed freely to all who wish to wear one, the Legion
gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund.

What is the Poppy
Campaign?
The Poppy Campaign is very much a local
initiative, conducted by Legion Branches in cities,
towns and communities across the country.
Donations
collected during the Poppy Campaign are held in Trust at
the branch level to directly support Veterans and their
families within their community and to help ensure
Canadians ‘never forget’. Learn more
about how
your donations help Veterans.
In the days leading up to November 11,
Poppies can be seen in every corner of this great
country. This show of support and display of
remembrance
would not be possible without the efforts of thousands of
Legionnaires who volunteer to distribute Poppies to the
community
through schools, community organizations and
local businesses. We are so grateful for their efforts,
and for the support of the many partners,
local and national, who welcome Legion volunteers and
Poppy boxes into their locations.
