Looking forward to being there next week. Thank you to the team for pulling together the stories.

The Royal Canadian Legion’s National Poppy Campaign is just around the corner and will feature new and returning initiatives. The National Poppy Campaign officially begins on Friday, October 25th. “We are always looking for new ways to grow our yearly campaign, and to enlarge our capacity to serve our Veterans and families,” says Berkley Lawrence, Dominion President. “This year we will have something new to share.” Both traditional Poppy donation boxes and “Pay Tribute” tap-enabled ones will be available for donations in thousands of locations. Donors will also be able to give though the Legion’s national website. But there’s more! Next week, the Legion will unveil a brand-new collaboration that will greatly enhance the organization’s ability to distribute Poppies far and wide. Be sure to stay tuned for more details!
