Honouring veterans with the poppy

November 02, 2026

As we near Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom.

The Herman James Good V.C. Branch 18 of the Royal Canadian Legion is conducting the Poppy Campaign. Monies raised will be used to assist and support Veterans and their families in the Chaleur Region.

Poppy trays will be available at many local businesses.

The City of Bathurst encourages citizens to support members of the Herman J. Good V.C. Branch #18 Royal Canadian Legion in their efforts to support many initiatives, such as bursaries for High School students who are relatives of veterans, different cadet organizations in the area, and assisting in medical equipment purchases for Chaleur Regional Hospital.

Legion volunteers will also be present at their 1220 Bridge Street location, from Monday to Saturday between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm, until Remembrance Day.

Lest We Forget.
