Events Calendar

This campaign is our most important Branch project of the year. The Poppy Campaign is the foundation of our Remembrance Program. We provide Canadians with the opportunity to Remember by providing them with a Poppy and to participate at Remembrance Day services. As a result of this generosity, we are able to ensure that Veterans and their families are cared for and treated with the respect that they deserve. The willingness to participate in the Poppy Campaign is one of the obligations we undertake when we become Members of The Royal Canadian Legion. All of us must strive to never forget this solemn undertaking — it is part of the debt that we owe to those who have gone before. It is through the Poppy Campaign and the generosity of our fellow citizens that, in addition to providing assistance to Veterans and their families, we foster the Tradition of Remembrance amongst our youth, the leaders of tomorrow.

The 2026 Poppy Campaign will run from October 24th to November 11th.

On November 11th each year, Canadians stand in collective Remembrance of all who have fallen in the military service of their country.

By remembering, we pay tribute to members of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP who served to defend our values and freedoms. We also honour those who continue to serve our country today.

Branch 59 holds our Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph, Columbus Field, Antigonish. The public is asked to arrive before 10:45am.
