Poppy Campaign Nears, Residents Urged to Order Wreaths Early for Hawk Junction Ceremony

As Remembrance Day approaches, Wawa's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 429 is reminding anyone who wants to order a wreath to do so quickly.

While the Poppy Campaign doesn't officially begin until Friday, local Chairman Larry Harvey reminds it's especially important to get orders in if you wish to have a wreath laid in Hawk Junction, as that community's ceremony will be held this Sunday.

Harvey outlines a few ways to place orders.

Harvey says as long as the order is received by Saturday, November 1st, the wreath should be ready for the November 2nd ceremony.

The Wawa Legion's annual church service will be the following Sunday, November 9th, while the community's Remembrance Day ceremony will be on November 11th.
