Pick up a poppy and donate to support emergency needs for veterans and their dependants, medical equipment and research for local hospitals, drop-in centres, meals-on wheels, and transportation services for veterans and the elderly, refurbishing of housing accommodation and care facilities for veterans, allied veterans in destitute circumstances.
One hundred years after the Poppy became the nation’s symbol of Remembrance, The Royal Canadian Legion has launched its 2021 National Poppy Campaign. Close to 20 million poppies are expected to be distributed this year.
And while many of the activities surrounding The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy campaign have remained the same, the way Canadians make donations has not.
Donors can also choose to give online via Legion.ca.
