The Royal Canadian Legion's 2024 National Poppy Campaign has launched, offering greater access to Poppies and highlighting the Royal Canadian Air Force's 100th anniversary.
Donations can be made through traditional boxes, a new Amazon storefront, or online, with funds supporting local Veterans. The campaign includes a new ceremony guide for schools and promotes a two-minute silence for reflection.
Biodegradable Poppies and wreaths aim to reduce environmental impact, while virtual displays will light up landmarks until November 11.
The National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa will feature a Veterans' Parade and a CF-18 fly-past.
