Your efforts — from distributing millions of Poppies to collecting donations to organizing Remembrance ceremonies nationwide — are so important to ensure that Canada never forgets. Your commitment at this time of year makes a real impact in the lives of Canada’s Veterans and their families throughout the rest of the year. |

 | | Your Legion calendar | | On December 25, 1941 — known as “Black Christmas” — Hong Kong fell to Japanese forces after fierce fighting. Nearly 2,000 Canadians took part in Canada’s first land battle of the Second World War, with many killed and others enduring harsh years as prisoners of war. This day is not only a significant moment in Canadian military history but also a solemn reminder to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served. | | The 2026 Legion calendar of notable dates is now available! | | Start planning the dates and activities your Branch will promote, commemorate, celebrate or raise awareness of over the coming year. | | Download the 2026 calendar ‣
