Remembrance Day Poppies Now On Sale

The Royal Canadian Legion annual poppy campaign leading up to Remembrance Day is underway.
Poppies are now on sale at several locations across the region.
More than 18-million poppies have been distributed to legion branches across Canada.
The money raised goes towards helping veterans and their families.
In 2012, the campaign raised around $14-million.
Since 1921, the poppy has been a symbol of remembrance to honour soldiers and military personnel who have lost their lives during war and other combat operations.
