WHAT WE DO
Honouring the sacred sentiment of Remembrance,
while serving, promoting and acting
Promoting Remembrance in Your Local Community
The Legion conducts the annual Poppy Campaign and invites all Canadians to wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom.
- Legion Branches across the country organize and conduct annual community Remembrance services and recognition events.
- Branches collaborate with communities to build and maintain local cenotaphs and memorials to honour the Fallen.
- Branches are proud to celebrate their local heroes, and many have museums and displays to express their pride in their history.
Support Veterans by Taking Action
While November is recognized as a time of Remembrance, for the Legion and for many across the country, Remembrance is a year-long commitment. At any given moment, there are many opportunities available to anyone wishing to show their appreciation for those who served, including:
- Becoming a Legion member to support Veterans year-round
- Making a donation to the Legion Foundation BC/Yukon Command
- Making a donation to the Legion’s Poppy Trust Fund at any Legion Branch
- Saying “Thank you” to a Veteran
- Honouring a Veteran in the Military Service Recognition Book
- Inviting a Legion Branch to make a presentation at a school or community group
- Volunteering to help Veterans
