Legion Poppy Campaign Starts Friday

Royal Canadian Legion branches across the country are ready to start their 2015 Poppy Campaign on Friday.

Wingham Branch 180 Poppy Campaign Chair Jim Saint says members and volunteers will be visible throughout the community over the next two weeks.

Poppy boxes will be in many stores, and Air Cadets will be selling them in locations where there is high pedestrian traffic.

The Poppy Campaign runs from October 30 until the Remembrance Day services on November 11.
