Calgary’s Poppy Campaign Supports Veterans Ahead of Remembrance Day
The Royal Canadian Legion has launched its poppy campaign across Alberta, encouraging residents to support veterans leading up to Remembrance Day. Poppies and other merchandise are now available in local stores, Legion branches, and online through the Legion’s official Amazon store.
For the second consecutive year, the Legion’s Amazon shop features commemorative items such as lapel pins, magnets, and poppy flowers in honour of those who served. The initiative aims to simplify access to remembrance items while supporting the broader campaign.
“The Poppy Campaign is the Legion’s most significant fundraising effort, with 100 per cent of proceeds going directly to support Canada’s veterans and their families,”
The fundraising drive started Friday and will continue through Remembrance Day. Albertans can donate in person via the traditional poppy boxes across the province — available at retail locations and TD bank branches — or contribute online.
