Poppy Fund

Quebec Provincial Directorate

Funds

Your financial support directly helps Canadian veterans and their families, ensuring that Canada never forgets.

Thanks to your donations to the Provincial Directorate of Quebec's Poppy Fund, it is able to provide support and financial assistance to veterans, including members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP, and their families in need.

The Poppy Campaign is organized and managed by Legion volunteers across the country and abroad in more than 1,400 branches.

Poppy funds, at any level of the Legion, are held in trust and their use is strictly regulated and subject to a well-established approval process.

Members of the subsidiary's executive committee are responsible for expenses made from their poppy fund and are required to inform the public through local media of their campaign's results, including contributions received and fund allocation.

You can Contact your local Legion Branch to inquire about the results of their Poppy Campaign.

Consult the Poppy Manual of The Royal Canadian Legion to learn more about the Poppy Fund.
