With Halloween over, Tri-City residents are being asked to turn their attention to Remembrance Day — and the programs the Royal Canadian Legion branches support.
Cadets, Legion members and volunteers are now offering poppies at high-traffic locations around the region to pay tribute to fallen soldiers and raise funds for veterans.
Karen Van Gilder, the poppy campaign co-chair for the Port Moody Legion branch 119, said more helpers are sought for poppy tagging as membership is down following the four-year closure of the Moody Centre club to make way for a site redevelopment.
Poppy volunteers with the PoMo Legion work in two- to four-hour shifts at Coquitlam Centre, Suter Brook Village and the Port Moody Liquor Store.
