Canadian communities organize poppy distributions for Remembrance Day

Communities across Canada are preparing for Remembrance Day through the distribution of poppies to honor military veterans. In Hubbards, volunteers have created thousands of handmade poppies for a community display sponsored by the Hubbards Area Lions Club. The display is expected to be set up approximately one week before Remembrance Day, with a gathering planned at the Lions Club following the ceremony.

In Aldergrove, volunteers from the Royal Canadian Legion and the 1922 Royal Westminster Regiment are distributing poppies and collecting donations at local businesses. While the poppies are free, donations are encouraged to support local veterans programs. The Royal Canadian Legion has issued a reminder to the public to purchase remembrance items only from authorized sources to prevent unauthorized commercial entities from profiting from the poppy image.
