About Royal Canadian Legion
Founded in 1925, the Legion is Canada's largest Veteran support and community service organization. They are a non-profit organization with a national reach across Canada, as well as branches in the U.S. and Europe; they currently have close to 250,000 members.
"We're always thankul to see how Canadians step up to support our Veterans during this period. We're in the second year of the pandemic yer we know we can count on generous donors and volunteers to support the campaign strongly, once again"
- Bruce Julian, Dominion President of The Royal Canadian Legion.
Commemorating the Poppy's 100th
November 2021 marks one hundred years since the Poppy has become the nation's symbol of Remembrance; close to 20 million poppies are expected to be distributed this year.
In commemoration of the Poppy's 100th anniversary in 2021, a special lapel pin that replicates the original 1921 cloth pin will be available for purchase through the Poppy Store.
The Royal Canadian Legion also has an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) of their Immortal Poppy - a digitally capture of a genuine Red Poppy from Flanders Fields in Belgium., with the names of fallen Canadian Veterans are also encrypted on its petals.
Crescent Branch 240
We have had the pleasure of working with Crescent Branch 240 in the past, as our November 2020 Community Wash Partner.
The Crescent Branch 240 is located in South Surrey, just north of Ocean Park and a short distance south of Crescent Beach.
We currently have a Poppy donation box for those looking to help support the Crescent Branch 240 & the Royal Canadian Legion.
