YerFive PLy Forever Young Memorable ways to leave a charitable legacy There is no shortage of charitable orga- nizations worthy of financial support and to be considered for a legacy gift. At this time of year, we're reminded of the needs of veterans and the support provided by groups like the Royal Canadian Legion and War Amps. Legacy gifts are a way not only to provide support but are a way for the donor to be remembered. As Remembrance Day approaches, the Legion’s annual poppy campaign, is under- way. 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.

CHAMP provides comprehensive sup- port including financial assistance for artifi- cial limbs to allow children to lead indepen- dent and active lives. The War Amps does not receive government grants and relies on donations from the public to operate its programs for Canadian amputees, now Experience the latest in HEARING AID Technology v FREE consultation v¥ 90 day RISK FREE trial AUDIOMETRIC CENTRE HEARING AIDS & AUDIOMETRY Call now for a preview of the next generation of hearing aid technology!
