Poppy Campaign
PROCLAMATION
Royal Canadian Legion Annual Poppy Campaign
October 26, 2026
WHEREAS, the poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance since 1921, our visual pledge to never forget those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations; and
WHEREAS, from the last Saturday of October to Remembrance Day, poppies blossom on lapels and collars to inspire Canadians to remember the many blessings and freedoms Canadians enjoy today as a result of the sacrifices of those who serve their country; and
WHEREAS, the proceeds of the poppy campaign support Canada’s serving and retired veterans and their families, while ensuring Canada never forgets.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Mayor Andrew Hallikas of the Town of Fort Frances, do hereby proclaim October 26, 2026, as the beginning of the Royal Canadian Legion Annual Poppy Campaign in the Town of Fort Frances and urge all citizens to wear a poppy to show their appreciation and support during this Remembrance period.
Signed, Mayor Andrew Hallikas
