283 Air Cadets will be supporting Legion Branch 609 Bramalea with their poppy campaign. Participating in citizenship activities is mandatory to pass your level. This activity is open to all cadets. Please come out and support your veterans!
THE POPPY IS A POWERFUL SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE
Its Purpose: Is to honor the memory of Soldiers / Sailors / Airmen and Woman who died during wartime, suffered in conflicts, and peacekeeping operations around the world.
Why? In Canada, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who served and sacrificed. The red flower also is the symbol of the Legion’s Poppy Campaign, raising funds to support Veterans and their families in need. We invite everyone across the country to show their recognition by proudly wearing this symbol of Remembrance.
