On Remembrance Day we honour those who gave their lives in service our country. On Monday, November 11, Farm & Ranch Supply stores and Petroleum Agencies will be closed in reverence to those who have served, past and present. Please note: the La Crete Farm Store will remain open.
Support for the Poppy Campaign
This Remembrance Day, many UFA locations have invited their local Legion Branches to bring their Poppy Box Campaign into their Farm & Ranch Supply stores and UFA Petroleum Agencies.
As one of the oldest and largest co-operatives in Canada, we believe that in order to be part of the present and future, we need to honour our past. We believe in paying homage to those who have dedicated themselves to service and who have sacrificed for our freedoms. The Poppy is the national emblem of supreme sacrifice and the Royal Canadian Legion holds their annual Poppy Campaign to support Veterans and their families. Poppies are distributed freely to all those who wish to wear one, but donations are always gratefully accepted. If you are interested in donating, please visit the Donate to the Poppy Fund (legion.ca) webpage to learn more.
Find Your Local Remembrance Day Ceremony
Attending a Remembrance Day Ceremony is a memorable occasion to honour our Veterans. You can find local ceremonies listed here: Remembrance Day Ceremonies (legion.ca)
Finally, the Legion reminds us that Remembrance is truly a year-long commitment. November 11 is a special day to honour those memories and sacrifices but there are numerous other ways to say thank you. Visit their Remembrance all year (legion.ca) webpage to see how you can support the Legion throughout the year.
