In some communities a local legion will conduct their poppy campaign using the mail- but Branch 174’s annual Poppy Drive is of a more traditional sort.
Campaign Vice-Chair Darryl Donald says they did contact a segment of the community via Canada Post this year.
She says a lack of volunteers for the 2023 Poppy Campaign meant the Branch didn’t have the resources to reach out to the businesses individually- but if your firm, store, or organization wants one, they can have it for free.
Darryl Donald says the improved, biodegradable wreaths will be available for Remembrance Day 2024.
Remembrance Day- Saturday, November 11th; lest we forget.
