It's time to pick up your poppy.

 

The Swift Current branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be out in the community in the coming weeks, kicking off their annual poppy campaign.

Tom Lovestone is the chairman for the poppy campaign and says those looking to pick up their poppy will be able to do so shortly, as trays of the artificial red flowers will be making their way around the community, and available at booths at both malls.

Projects supported through funds raised during this blitz go to support local bursaries, the less fortunate, and our local Legion branch.

Lovestone adds that you can also get your poppies at the Legion Building as well.
