And traditionally running from the last Friday of October through Nov. 11, the Poppy Campaign will offer the chance to show you honour the sacrifices of Canadian veterans in support of the freedoms we enjoy today.

Donations collected from these sales are held in trust at the branch level for direct support of veterans and their families in the community. The assistance they make possible takes various forms, such as grants for food, heating, housing, medical equipment, home repairs, and emergency shelter and assistance.

Finally, for this history-minded, there is the opportunity to walk through Cobourg's military history on the Poppy Trail, a self-guided tour that features charming period architecture and streetscapes while sharing Cobourg's significant wartime contributions. A virtual tour booklet to guide you can be found at ExperinceCobourg.ca
