Canadians can show their support for veterans online this year with a digital poppy.
The poppies, which launch Oct. 25, are a continuation of a Royal Canadian Legion campaign that started last year.
Receiving the first poppy begins the Remembrance Day commemorations & allows us to show our deep gratitude to our veterans.#LestWeForget🇨🇦Le premier coquelicot debute les commemorations du jour du Souvenir et montre notre gratitude envers nos anciens combattants. #NoublionsJamais pic.twitter.com/mzaIv3BZpQ
