Mayor receives first poppy of the Poppy Campaign
Mayor Bill Given received the first poppy of the Poppy Campaign on Monday.
Given says it’s a great honour.
“The chance to represent the community in recognition of the men and women who have served our country over the years is something that is very close to my heart. I think it is especially meaningful this year. We’ve had a chance to support the Legion with the naming of Veterans Way downtown. I expect that the Remembrance Day celebrations will be one of the best ever.”
Given adds Remembrance Day is very important for Grande Prairie especially its younger residents.
