You may start seeing poppies appearing on lapels in Niagara as Legions across the country kick off an annual campaign.
The poppy campaign traditionally starts on the last Friday in October, which is today, and lasts until Remembrance day.
Funds raised during the campaign go to support veterans and their families.
Throughout the years, the Legion Poppy Fund has been used for grants for food, heating, clothing, and prescription medication, housing, and accessibility modifications.
