The Royal Canadian Legion is kicking off its annual poppy campaign.
Poppies will be available today until November 10th, the day before Remembrance Day.
The bright red flowers are worn each year to honour Canadians who have died in combat and peacekeeping operations around the world.
Donation boxes are available wherever you find poppies on display.
Proceeds raised go to help veterans, provide student bursaries and fund prizes for school Remembrance Day contests.
