The Royal Canadian Legion's Upcoming 2025 Poppy Campaign
The Royal Canadian Legion's 2025 National Poppy Campaign
OTTAWA, Ontario — The Royal Canadian Legion is gearing up for its National Poppy Campaign, poised to launch shortly. This year, the campaign will incorporate new ideas while honoring time-honored traditions. The vibrant Poppy Campaign ultimately seeks to foster remembrance and honor those who have served.
Gratitude to Our Donors
Berkley Lawrence, the Legion's Dominion President, expressed heartfelt thanks to the generous donors each year, whose contributions enable the organization to serve the Veteran community. Their ongoing support plays a vital role in ensuring that commendations for our fallen heroes continue to thrive.
Exciting Innovations Ahead
While specific details will be shared as the launch date nears, several new features are expected this year. One of these is the availability of electronic payment 'Pay Tribute' boxes, which will significantly enhance donating convenience. With support from RBC, these innovative boxes will be made accessible at thousands of additional locations.
Increased Availability and Convenience
This new initiative is set to be a game-changer, tripling the access points to Poppy donations, totaling over 2,300 locations. This leap aligns with the Legion's aim to reach even more people, ensuring that more communities can participate in honoring their veterans.
Biodegradable Options and New Products
In addition, the Legion is excited to continue offering biodegradable Poppies and wreaths. These environmentally-friendly items resonate with a growing societal commitment to sustainability. Alongside these, new Poppy Centre pins and other Remembrance products will be available at their online storefront, further broadening the selection for supporters.
The Role of Corporate Partners
Corporate partners, such as TD Bank and Starbucks, play a vital role in the campaign's success. TD Bank will facilitate Poppy distribution across its branches, while Starbucks will support donations through point-of-sale channels. This collaboration ensures that a broader audience can engage with the Poppy Campaign.
Contributions to Veterans
The National Poppy Campaign is not merely about the Poppy itself. It’s about generating significant contributions for veterans in need. Each year, close to $20 million is allocated to local Legion branches to facilitate support for veterans and their families. This funding ensures ongoing help for those who have served our country.
Commemorating November 11
November 11 is a significant date for the Legion and Canadians alike. It marks the National Remembrance Day Ceremony, which will again be available via livestream. Canadians are encouraged to engage in two minutes of silence to reflect and honor the sacrifices made by our veterans.
Find Your Local Ceremony
The Legion's website features a continuously updated Ceremony Locator, helping individuals find nearby events. This tool is instrumental for many Canadians looking to participate in local remembrance activities during this important time.
