* Campaign agreements: TD Bank and Starbucks

TD Bank Branches and Starbucks corporate locations have a cashless donation policy but were eager to support their local Legion Branch Poppy Campaigns. As these locations can collect donations through their point-of-sale systems, all donations received will be sent to their nearest local Legion Branch Poppy Fund via an electronic fund transfer (EFT) following the Poppy Campaign. To further support the Branch campaigns, Legion National Headquarters supplied the locations with Poppies and Poppy boxes in advance of the Poppy Campaign. No action is required by the Branch to receive these donations. Should a location run out of Poppies, they will contact the local Legion Branch to replenish their box.

This agreement does not include Starbucks non-corporate-operated stores. Branches are asked to contact licensed store managers directly to coordinate their support, if interested, of the Poppy Campaign.

** Campaign agreement: Costco

Costco is once again welcoming local Legion Branches to distribute Poppies in their location vestibules from November 1 to November 10. Costco has requested that volunteers do not sell any merchandise to Costco members on premises. Additionally, Costco kindly requests that volunteers dress professionally and, if able, stand while accepting donations.

The stories expand on where and how soldiers grew up in Canada, their family history, pre‑war careers, and even some of their passions.
