Canadians invited to support Veterans with Digital Poppy
October 31 2024 - 3:51PM
Canadians will honour Veterans and their immeasurable sacrifices
through the Digital Poppy Campaign from October 25 to November 11
through mypoppy.ca.
The Legion National Foundation has championed the
Digital Poppy - a national, annual campaign that gives back to
Veterans and their families - during Remembrance period and uniting
Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
The LNF Digital Poppy Campaign is returning once
again to Remember the Fallen.
“The Digital Poppy goes a long way ensuring
Canadians never forget the Fallen, all while remaining a
personalized experience” says Thomas Irvine, Board Chair for the
Legion National Foundation. “Commemorations dedicated to loved ones
may be added on each Digital Poppy to assure their memory lives on,
all the while signaling support for Canadian Veterans”.
Notably, Digital Poppies can be shared with friends
and family on social media channels and with colleagues and clients
in signature blocks to promote Remembrance among all
generations.
