In honour of Remembrance Day, Seasons Strathroy Retirement Community held its annual Pennies for Poppies program earlier this month to pay tribute to veterans. Through this campaign, Seasons Strathroy raised funds for the local Royal Canadian Legion with the support of residents, team members, families, and community members. Seasons Strathroy also joined other Seasons communities across Ontario and Alberta in ‘planting’ paper poppies inside and outside their residences as an impactful visual display to honour veterans, many of whom call Seasons home.
The Pennies for Poppies program invited residents, staff, and visitors to make donations through self-service poppy boxes, taking a moment to honour Canada’s veterans. The commemorative paper poppy garden display was created as a tribute to the remarkable resident heroes, reinforcing Seasons’ commitment to honouring those who served and preserving their stories.
All money raised from the Pennies for Poppies program is donated to the local legion’s Poppy Trust Fund.
