With the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign returning and Remembrance Day approaching, you may begin to see a variety of retailers popping up illegally selling products using the Poppy for profit. (flags, hats, shirts, blankets, jewelry etc.) . The Royal Canadian Legion is reminding us that they hold the trademark on the Poppy is to ensure this sacred symbol of Remembrance is used with respect and to protect it from unauthorized retailers who use the symbol inappropriately. When purchasing your Remembrance items, please ensure they are from an authorized seller, or purchase directly though the online store - poppystore.ca When purchasing through The Poppy Store or your local Legion branch, you can be sure that the proceeds go back into the Legion.
