THAMES CENTRE - Mayor McMillan joined members of the Royal Canadian Legion DonnyBrook Branch 513 to launch the 2024 Poppy Campaign. In keeping with tradition, the Mayor was pinned with the first poppy.
“I am proud to wear the poppy, and I’m honoured to join members of the Legion for this event,” said Mayor McMillan. “It’s important for us to honour the courage of Canada’s veterans, and to remember the high price they paid to preserve freedoms for all Canadians.”
The Poppy Campaign runs until November 11. Poppies are available from a variety of locations, including from the Dorchester Legion.
Donations raised from the campaign are used to directly support veterans and their families within the community.
