Poppy Campaign
Purchase A Wreath:
The Royal Canadian Legion makes wreaths available for purchase through Legion Branches for anyone wishing to place a wreath at a local commemorative event.
To place an order, please fill out the form below and pick-up your wreath from Souris Legion no later than Sunday, 3 November 2024. Due to logistical challenges, wreaths will not be available for purchase the week leading up to, or the morning of, November 11th. During the busy Remembrance period, we recommend you place your wreath order in early October.
As of 2024, we have made changes to purchasing and laying wreaths:
Wreaths order can be placed in person at the Souris Legion Bar, or using the form below;
If placing an order through the form, please show the email confirmation to Bar staff when you pick-up your wreath before the deadline
When ordering your wreath, please identify the ERA/THEATRE OF SERVICE in which the veteran participated
NOTE: It is critical that wreaths be purchased and picked-up before the date above
On November 11th, for the sake of efficiency and minimizing the amount of time attendees (especially older adults) spend in the elements, wreath-layers will be called up according to the ERA/THEATRE OF SERVICE.

Thank you to our Legion Volunteers
In the days leading up to November 11, Poppies can be seen in every corner of this great country. This show of support and display of remembrance would not be possible without the efforts of thousands of Legionnaires who volunteer to distribute Poppies to the community through schools, community organizations and local businesses.
We are so grateful for their efforts, and for the support of the many partners, local and national, who welcome Legion volunteers and Poppy boxes into their locations.
If you are interested in becoming a Legion member, and/or volunteering with the Poppy Campaign in Souris, then please contact the branch at: president@sourislegion.ca or (902) 687 2300
