A National Remembrance Service is conducted by The Royal Canadian Legion with the help of the federal and municipal governments, many organiza- tions, and a host of volunteers. It is nationally televised by the CBC which-also produces a national radio broadcast. A Dominion Command Committee organizes the ceremo- ny, with the participation of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans Affairs Canada, Public Works Canada, the Ottawa Police Department, the R.C.M.P., St. John Ambulance, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, the Dominion Carillonneur, the Central Choir of the Ottawa Board of Education and representatives of radio and television. A Silver Cross Mother, repre- senting Canadian Motherhood, and the senior winners of the Legion's Literary and Poster Contest, are brought to Ottawa as guests of the Legion to participate in the National Ceremony. Poppy campaign The Royal Canadian Legion conducts a poppy campaign to collect funds each year prior to Remembrance Day. All proceeds are placed in trust accounts and after expenses (including the cost of poppies and wreaths) are paid, the funds are used to assist needy Canadian ex- service personnel and their dependents, ex-service personnel of Commonwealth countries and of allied countries residing in Canada. Some authorized uses of these funds are: -community medical equip- ment and medical research -day care centres, meals-on- wheels, transportation and related services for ex-service personnel, their dependents and the aged. Although the Poppy Campaign is national in scope, each Legion branch is responsible for running its own campaign and collecting and disbursing funds in its area. Money is not deposited in a central fund. & ge Armistice Day Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, November 11, 1987, page 11 Service conducted by Legion In 1985/86, $3,455,329 was spent for the benefit of ex-service personnel and their dependents. Poppies and wreaths In 1986, 13 million poppies and 68,500 wreaths and crosses were distributed in Canada. For every donation received, a poppy, wreath or other acknowl- edgement is given. These items are financed out of the receipts of the Poppy Campaign. ; All poppies and wreaths are made in sheltered workshops, or in homes by ex-servicemen and women or their dependents. Thus, the Poppy Campaign helps to support ex-service per- sonnel and their dependents in all phases of its operation.
