After a weekend blitz campaign volunteers at the #35 Royal Canadian Legion in Red Deer are busy in the office shipping out the thousands of poppies to hundreds of locations throughout Red Deer.

Here from the left, volunteers Irene Swanson, Grant MacKay, Ken Bateman and Eldon Herder were hard at work Tuesday making sure the campaign was running smoothly.

Sales of the poppies, wreaths and crosses go towards funding the many programs the Legion sponsors including support for veterans programs, funding for cadets, the Red Deer Hospice, and education bursaries.
