Cambridge Bay cadets greeted customers at the Co-op store Nov. 1 to sell poppies and raise money for programs for veterans and their families. The annual poppy campaign, run by the Royal Canadian Legion, has been rolled out at the end of October every year since 1921 when it was first introduced by the Legion’s predecessor, The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada. Some 18 million lapel poppies are sold every year. (PHOTO BY KELCEY WRIGHT)
