As they have for many decades, members of The Royal Canadian Legion and volunteers work very hard to ensure their annual Poppy Campaign, in advance of Remembrance Day, is as successful as possible. All the money raised by selling poppies and wreaths will, first and foremost, be given directly to ex-service personnel and their families who are in need. Any money that exceeds the ex-service personnel’s immediate need is donated back into the community where the money was raised in support of facilities and organizations that provide services to veterans. These donations ultimately aide the community as a whole. For many years in the past it has been used to purchase an impressive array of hospital equipment here in Camrose. Additional funds are directed to bursaries for local students, who are descendants of veterans, who may not otherwise be able to afford an advanced education. Despite all this potential good, this year’s poppy fund has brought out the worst in mankind with several poppy boxes being stolen. Wednesday, November 11, a statutory holiday, is a day of Remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country during times of war, conflict and peace. Please take time out from your busy schedule to consider the sacrifices of so many.
