When to wear a Poppy:
The lapel Poppy should be worn during the Remembrance period, from the last Friday in October until November 11. The Legion encourages the wearing of Poppies at funerals of Veterans, and for any commemorative event such as a memorial service, or the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. As well, it is not inappropriate to wear a Poppy during other times to commemorate Fallen Veterans and it is an individual choice to do so.

This week leading up to Remembrance Day, we remember and honour the brave men and women who served our beautiful country; those who are responsible for our freedom.  Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.  Let's fill the silence with thanks, honour, and heartfelt respect for every veteran's sacrifice.

I encourage you to attend local services around our great province.  At the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, we will remember.

The Poppy should be worn with respect on the left side, over the heart. The Legion’s lapel Poppy is a sacred symbol of Remembrance and should not be affixed with any pin that obstructs the Poppy.

For the Fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)

THANK YOU TO SASKATOON WILLOWGROVE CONSTITUENTS, JAMIE & ELAINE BLAZEK FOR THE RESPECTFUL REMEMBRANCE DAY DISPLAY IN THEIR YARD!

With great appreciation, respect and gratitude for our veterans, I proudly display this lawn sign I purchased last year.  In addition to wearing a poppy, the lawn sign is a great way to show your support of veterans by displaying this lawn sign in your yard or business.  The signs are a respectful way to display a message of Remembrance for all to see.

The City of Saskatoon recognizes the contributions of veterans by providing free parking year round.
