Funds collected were distributed to the orphans, widows and injured veterans of the First World War. The poppy was chosen as the symbol because of the popularity of Dr. John McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’. McCrae was born near here in Guelph and he died during the war, while serving in the Canadian Army Medical Corps. His poem is universal and for all time. The poppy has become the symbol of remembrance all around the world. The poppy appeal has continued for 100 years, driven by volunteers from local branches of the Royal Canadian Legion. Vimy Legion Branch 145 was founded in 1927. We collaborate with Victory Legion Branch 317 in our poppy appeal which has supported: Parkwood Hospital; Victory Legion’s Save the Brave program against homelessness; Ontario Command’s service dog program for vets and RCMP experiencing PTSD; emergency medical support and The Royal Commonwealth Ex-Servicemen’s League.
