CHAPTER 2
Responsibilities
Introduction
GENERAL
201. In order for the Poppy Campaign to be successful, all Legion
members at each level of the organization must cooperate
and communicate with each other to the fullest. There is
a saying — “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”
— and this holds just as true for the Poppy Campaign as
anything else. In short, it is through the cooperative effort
of each member that we achieve success.
202. As with any endeavour, the more we know about our roles
and responsibilities, the easier it is to understand where we
fit into the big picture. This chapter is devoted to providing
this information.
DOMINION COMMAND
203. At Dominion Command, responsibility for all Poppy and
Remembrance matters and activities is vested in the Poppy
and Remembrance Committee.
204. The specific responsibilities of this Committee are as follows:
a. formulating policy recommendations for consideration
by the Dominion Executive Council and Dominion
Convention (as appropriate) that address activities
that foster the Tradition of Remembrance, the Poppy
