Through your donations to the Legion Poppy Fund, the
Legion provides financial assistance and support to
Veterans, including Canadian Armed Forces and
RCMP, and their families who are in need. Funds
may be used to support Canadian programs and in
local communities for support of Veterans and their
families (for example Bursaries) and for Special needs
in the community.
The Poppy Campaign is organized and run by local Legion volunteers
at over 1400 branches across Canada and abroad. Poppy Funds are held
in trust at every level of the Legion and the use of these trust funds are
strictly controlled, with appropriate approval processes. Branch executives
are accountable for Poppy Fund expenditures and are required
to inform the public through local media of the results of their campaign,
including contributions received and disposition of funds. You
may contact your local Legion branch to request information on their
Poppy Campaign.
