This year is the 100th anniversary of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. Donations can be made at poppy boxes at a selection of retailers or directly to your local Legion Branch. Purchases made at the online Poppy Store (www.poppystore.ca) also support the Legion, offering items like a facemask featuring the Legion logo that incorporates the symbolic poppy. The Royal Canadian Legion provides financial assistance to serving and former Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP, and their families who are in financial dis- tress. Find out more and how to donate or arrange a legacy gift at www.legion.ca. The War Amps.
