The Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy campaign kicks off today from coast to coast. Bridgewater Legion representative Roger Purnell says this year’s campaign is especially significant. He says: “(Its) the 100-th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War and Canada’s committment to providing a national armed forces.”
Legion members will be set up in many of the shopping places starting today and you can pick up your poppy by making a donation. Funds raised go to help the Legion with many of its programs for veterans and to assist in the cadet programs in schools.
