POPPPPPPPY
Young people across Canada are honouring veterans and serving soldiers in a special way today (Tuesday.) More than 6,000 students and volunteers are placing poppies on over 23,000 military headstones. The goal of this initiative is to ensure that EVERY soldier’s headstone across Canada will be honoured and recieve a poppy. This program started in Edmonton five years ago and now includes students from 51 schools in Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
