Have you heard? The Legion distributed over 21.5 million Poppies during the 2016 Poppy Campaign! From donations received that year, more than $16.7 million was disbursed to support Canadian Veterans and their families and honour the Fallen. Thank you for your generous donations and support during the Poppy Campaign. Disbursement figures from the 2017 Poppy Campaign will be available March 2019.

There are many ways you can support Canada’s Veterans year-round including becoming a member and donating to Poppy Funds.

Todd Muise, Royal Canadian Regiment (Ret.) and Legion member, organized a rucksack march sponsored by the Yarmouth & Wedgeport Legions to help raise awareness about the support groups available for Veterans suffering from PTSD, operational stress injury, anxiety, depression or substance abuse. #GetLoud #MentalHealthWeek

Ryan Ference, a member of Branch #39 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, was selected to represent The Royal Canadian Legion at this year’s Nijmegen March. Ryan will undergo a rigorous training regimen to prepare for one of the world’s largest walking and marching events, that includes a military component. Each year, the Canadian Armed Forces invites a Legion member to join its team in recognition of the Legion’s sponsorship of the team’s visit to Vimy Ridge.
