The poppy isn’t just a pin — it’s a powerful symbol of remembrance, and now it’s more accessible than ever. Nujma Bond from the Royal Canadian Legion joins Shane Hewitt to reveal how modern updates like tap-to-donate boxes and Amazon delivery are reshaping the annual Poppy Campaign while keeping its purpose intact.

They dig into what the Legion really does with donations — from frontline veteran support to community-driven outreach — and why it’s time to stop saying we “buy” a poppy. Plus, hear personal stories that show how the Legion continues to connect generations through shared memory and local impact.
