14 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, November 3, 2016 | COMMUNITY Keeping your poppy in place: a few tips and tricks The poppy has been a visual symbol of remembrance in Canada since 1921 and was inspired by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Fields. While Canadians from coast to coast are proud to wear the symbol, it is frustrating when they continually fall from your lapel. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you keep your poppy in place. Bend a little: Stick the straight pin through your lapel so the end of the pin is on the inside and use pliers to gently bend the end of the pin. Back it: Borrow an earring back or a broach back to prevent the pin from pulling through your lapel. Improvise: Use a piece of an eraser, cork from a wine bottle or, if you are desperate, a gently used piece of chewing gum to act as a stopper for the pin. Get sticky: Simply wrap a piece of adhesive tape around the end of the pin. Stitch it: Get some matching red thread and a sewing needle to attach the petals of the poppy to your lapel. If all else fails, throw a few extra coins into the donation box and carry some extra poppies to replace lost ones or to give one to someone who doesn't have one. In the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, many wear a poppy to honour and respect those who have served their country. Each year, people drop coins into poppy boxes as local Royal Canadian Legions run poppy campaigns to raise funds in support of veterans and their families.
