Why the Poppy?

Retrieved from www.legion.ca

November brings many things to the region of Albert County: beauty as the earth puts herself to rest for another season, the grasp of frost that holds the promise of forthcoming snow, the whir of snowmobiles being uncovered and tuned up replaces the roar of motorcycles now being housed for the winter, folks start thinking of holidays ahead with school plays, markets, decorating, and shopping on the mind, and the squirrels seem to scamper a little faster to fill every crook and cranny they can find with cones, nuts, and other goodies to last them for the winter. However, there is a time where all of these things pause, we don our poppies, and our community joins together with the rest of Canada to honour our soldiers and remember.
