As Remembrance Day approaches, the Royal Canadian Legion's launched its annual poppy campaign.
Larry Harvey - Poppy Campaign Chairman for Wawa's Legion Branch 429 - explains the campaign is meant to support veterans.
Harvey notes funds can also be used for housing and care facilities for elderly, disabled, and homeless veterans, as well efforts to "instill remembrance", along with the poster and literacy contests for students, and even some bursaries.
Aside from poppies - found throughout the community - Harvey reminds wreath orders are being accepted, urging everyone to get them in early, especially for the annual ceremony in Hawk Junction, which will be held after the annual church service on Sunday, November 7th.
