Poppy

The symbol of remembrance is the poppy and every year before Remembrance Day, November 11th, the Royal Canadian Legion conducts its annual Poppy campaign.

Poppies are sold to raise funds to help needy veterans, their dependents and local community groups and each year the citizens of Mission and District generously donate in excess of $12,000.

The money donated through poppy sales is returned to the community to organizations such as:

Veterans Hospitals

Pleasant View Care Home

Mission Community Services Society

Hospice Society

Mission Extended Care Unit

The history of the poppy and its significance can be found at the Royal Canadian Legion web site www.legion.ca More than 15 million poppies, 68,000 wreaths, crosses and sprays are distributed across Canada and overseas each year.
