Ways to Mark REMEMBRANCE DAY
Wear a poppy to support local veterans and their families. Since 1921, the poppy has symbolized our remembrance of and gratitude for those who serve(d) our country. The Saskatoon Poppy fund relies on hundreds of volunteers to help raise money to support local veterans. All funds raised are invested in the City of Saskatoon and greater area to support local veterans and their families with things like shelter, transportation, medical aids, and more.
