The Royal Canadian Legion and its members are the \u201cGuardians of Remembrance\u201d in Canada. As such, the Legion provides a number of resources that you can easily access when planning commemorations in your local areas.
\nFor example, there is your local branch of The Royal Canadian Legion. By contacting them, people may meet Veterans from all peace support operations who are willing to share their experiences with an audience.
\nThere are also many resources that can be used by going to www.legion.ca and clicking on any of the icons in the menu category that says Honour and Remember. There, people can find a wealth of information about Poppy and Remembrance, Youth Education and Teaching Guide to name a few.
\nThe Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance section also includes impressions of the battlefields and the gravesites visited by those who attended these pilgrimages and can give those researching them a whole new perspective on Remembrance.
\nUnder the Youth Education icon, people can find the regulations for the Poster (Colour or Black & White) and Literary (Essays and Poems) Contests that are conducted each year in schools across Canada in each of the Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Primary categories. The winners of the national competition in the senior category (Grades 10,11, 12) go to Ottawa to represent the Youth of Canada at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony and place a wreath on their behalf.
\nBut it all begins with our most important resource \u2013 our Legion members and their branches in your local area. Please reach out to us during this Poppy Campaign.
\nLest We Forget.<\/p>\n
