Calgary's Poppy Campaign Supports Veterans Ahead of Remembrance Day
The Royal Canadian Legion has launched this year’s poppy campaign, offering items such as lapel pins, magnets, and poppy flowers to honor veterans in the lead-up to Remembrance Day. Merchandise is available in stores, local legions, and online, including through the Legion’s Amazon store.
“The Poppy Campaign is the legion’s most significant fundraising effort, with 100 per cent of proceeds going directly to support Canada’s veterans and their families,”
The campaign began Friday and will continue until Remembrance Day. Albertans can purchase or receive pins by donation at poppy boxes in various locations across the province, including TD Bank branches, or order online through the official poppy store.
Postmedia may earn a commission on purchases made through some links associated with the campaign, though product reviews and recommendations remain independent.
How to Participate
- Visit the Royal Canadian Legion’s online poppy store or Amazon page.
- Donate at poppy boxes in local outlets and banks.
- Wear your poppy to honor and remember Canadian veterans.
Campaign Duration
The initiative runs from the campaign’s launch on Friday until Remembrance Day on November 11.
