The poppy campaign will run from Friday, October 25th to November 11th, 2024.
All donations received during the poppy campaign are held in trust at each Legion branch level to directly support Veterans and their families within their community and to help ensure Canadians ‘never forget’. 
Please support this year’s Poppy Campaign and wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.
