Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11, tens of millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.<\/p>\n

The annual campaign runs until Remembrance Day, with money raised by each legion branch helping veterans and their families in those communities.
