The Royal Canadian Legion’s 2022 National Poppy Campaign is officially underway, with new biodegradable Poppies and wreaths and some poignant new initiatives to help promote Remembrance.
Biodegradable Poppies and Wreaths
For the first time ever, the Legion is distributing new biodegradable Poppies and wreaths during this year’s campaign. They are crafted from a variety of natural materials including paper, cotton velvet, plaster, moss, and bamboo. It will take a few years for residual stock to be depleted, but eventually all Poppies and wreaths used during the campaign will be biodegradable.
In the November-December issue of Small Farm Canada’s special coverage on Remembrance Day, we mark John McCrae’s 150th birthday.
