From the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom.

Poppy CampaignWe invite everyone across the country to show their recognition by proudly wearing this symbol of Remembrance and taking a moment to reflect.
