What does a Legion do?
The Royal Canadian Legion, founded by and for Veterans, is dedicated to advocating for the care and benefits of all who have served Canada, regardless of when or where they served. Their focus includes offering representation, assistance, and no-cost access to services for Veterans, current members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and their families. The Legion makes a meaningful impact in the lives of thousands of Veterans annually, emphasizing the importance of never forgetting Canada's history and the sacrifices made. Through various initiatives like Remembrance Day ceremonies, the Poppy campaign, educational programs, and community service, the Legion encourages Canadians to honor and remember those who served and continue to serve.

What is the Poppy Campaign?
Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a symbol of honoring Canada's Veterans and commemorating their sacrifices for the freedoms enjoyed today. The Poppy Campaign, led by Legion Branches across the country, involves distributing Poppies and accepting donations to the Poppy Fund. Donations collected directly support Veterans and their families within the community, emphasizing the importance of never forgetting their contributions. The widespread display of Poppies leading up to November 11 is made possible by the dedicated efforts of Legionnaires and the support of various partners who help distribute Poppies through schools, organizations, and local businesses.
