Remembrance Day Parade – Military Transport
Military transport is available for 18 VETERANS wishing to ride in the Remembrance Day parade on Nov. 11th. Please register by sending an email with your name to Bob Ankrett at [email protected]
The transport will depart Central High School under the direction of Dan Lauzon. You will need to arrive at Central High School prior to 10:00 am on November 11th.
Lawn Sign – WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
A fantastic and respectful way to display a message of Remembrance for all to see. The 16” x 24” sign is made from coroplast (recyclable) so it can withstand the often-unpredictable fall weather, from hot sunny days to cold snowy nights. The sign comes with a 30” metal stake, and after assembly and installation the sign should sit approximately 15” above the ground.
- Each sign costs $20
Lawn signs are available at the Burlington Legion Branch 60
Poppy Campaign Volunteers Needed
October 25 – November 11
The 2024 Poppy Campaign runs from Friday, Oct. 25 until Monday, Nov. 11. It’s very much a local initiative conducted by Legion Branches across the country. Donations collected during the Poppy Campaign are held in Trust at the branch level to directly support Veterans and their families and to help ensure Canadians “never forget”.
In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, Poppies can be seen in every corner of this great country. This show of support and display of remembrance would not be possible without the efforts of thousands of Legionnaires who volunteer to distribute Poppies to the community through schools, community organizations and local businesses. We are so grateful for their efforts and for the support of the many partners, local and national, who welcome Legion volunteers and Poppy boxes into their locations.
If you can help with the campaign by dropping off/collecting boxes, offering Poppies at various locations or sorting the funds as they come in, please contact:
- Gerry Bardy 905-536-9415
- Barry Moore 905-330-3259
- Owen Durkin 289-775-8809.
Your help is much appreciated.
