The Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation is reminding residents that supporting the annual Poppy Campaign in November can help strengthen local communities.
“Each November, Canadians wear a poppy as a symbol of remembrance, honouring the sacrifices of those who have served our country,” said a statement from the foundation. “What many may not realize is that the annual Poppy Campaign also helps fund initiatives that strengthen communities and improve lives close to home.”
The reminder comes after the foundation received a $20,000 donation from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 17 in Courtenay through funds raised during its annual Poppy Campaign.
“Made possible through the Legion’s annual Poppy Campaign, this gift reflects the generosity of community members who support remembrance efforts each year,” said the foundation in a statement. “Together, these contributions help transform acts of gratitude into meaningful investments in local healthcare.”
The foundation said the donation will be directed to diagnostic imaging at Comox Valley Hospital.Each November, Canadians wear a poppy as a symbol of remembrance, honouring the sacrifices of those who have served our country.
