We are kicking off our national poppy campaign
for the Royal Canadian Legion and as our 100th
anniversary celebration we have a special project
that we've completed and it's called
Don't Forget to Remember
and it specifies the importance of remembrance. We have a portrait over
here of Alan Scottie Davidson
who at 22 years old captained the Toronto Blue Shirts which became
later the Toronto Maple Leafs, to their first Stanley Cup championship.
Scottie enlisted
and went off from this location to fight in World War I.
On June the 15th, 1915, he was killed in action.
We have roughly 5,000 sticky notes
comprising this wonderful portrait that's
been created specifically for this occasion.
The goal of the National Poppy Campaign is always the same.
It's to raise funds to support our veterans, okay?
And it supports our veterans in a variety of ways,
including their families if they're in need.
We do transition programs. We do a variety of things.
So there's always a need,
and as long as Canada has a military, we have a need.
It's important for all Canadians to remember,
to know that people sacrificed.
120,000 Canadians have been killed in action.
or as a result of a war.
There's no need for war.
It's important to remember those that did sacrifice.
