Residents can show their support in the lead up to Remembrance Day through the Royal Canadian Legion's poppy campaign, which kicked off on Oct. 27. Donations boxes are located throughout the city in grocery stores, LCBOs and the mall.
Donations collected during the campaign are held in trust at the branch level to directly support veterans and their families.
