Comrades all:
Our small community was
recently shaken by a tragic bus /
train accident. Please take time to
remember the neighbours we have
lost.
As everyone knows, our
Branch has been very successful
because of the hard and dedicated
work of all our volunteers. However, as we grow, we are in need
of more volunteers to help in many
different ways. Come and talk to
me if you have time to spare. Also,
have you ever thought about being
part of our Executive team? If yes,
you need to attend at least three
General Meetings (which are held
on the third Tuesday of each
month) and be voted in at our
elections in May. We are presently
looking for more people to help in
some key rolls so if you are inter-

ested, please come and
talk to me.
Thank you to all the
people that came out to
our very successful Luau
and pig roast which was
held on September 27. It was a
great night and many thanks go to
Kathy Blomquist and her team of
Volunteers.
We are presently in the
process of bringing back our Friday
night meals every Friday. Did you
know we have extended our Friday night dinners to 7.30 p.m.
to help those people who work
late and want to come to our
Branch for dinner?
Tickets will be going on sale
for our Remembrance Dinner which
will be held on Saturday, November
9. This year’s theme is the Korean
War and we will have some interesting guests and speakers. More

and the meal will be forth coming.
There’s limited seating so don’t
miss out!
I would like to welcome
another service club to our
Branch. The Rotary Club is now
using our facilities for their weekly
meetings. Welcome Colleagues.
In closing, I remind all our
Members of the pledge each of us
took when we became Members
of the Royal Canadian Legion, “to
actively participate in the
Poppy Campaign.” If you haven’t already signed up to help,
please do so. We need more than
200 people to volunteer at stores
in our Community, so please signup on the sheets at the Branch.
“Our youth are our future.
They will carry our legacy
forward.”

2013 Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign
Once again, it’s that time of year when Royal Canadian Legions are busy getting organized for the
annual Poppy Campaign—the most important annual event for every Branch. This year’s Campaign
runs from Friday, October 25 until November 10. During this 17-day period, Legion volunteers from
across Canada will be busy distributing poppies. You will find our amazing volunteers in the
community—stores, banks, restaurants—armed with donation boxes and merchandise, and this is
where you will be able to donate to the Poppy Campaign. Your donations support Veterans and their
families in our community.
As this year’s Poppy Campaign Chairperson, I would like to take this opportunity to invite local
businesses, community groups and individuals to show their support of this very important Campaign.
In addition to wearing a poppy, donations can be made in a number of different ways.
You can show your support of the Poppy Campaign by purchasing a wreath for $100. Each wreath
includes a banner with a citation (“Lest We Forget”); however, if you would like to personalize your
banner by adding your business or community group or family name, this would cost an additional
$15.
Should you wish to have the wreath displayed at your school, office or store during the Campaign, the
wreath will be ready for pick-up at the Barrhaven Legion on October 25. Or, should you wish, the
wreath will be ready for you to present on November 11 at the Ceremony site which is located at John
McCrae School, 103 Malvern Drive, Ottawa K2J 4T2.
You can lay your wreath on behalf of your organization or family, or you may wish to have a Legion
Veteran lay your wreath on your behalf during the Ceremony.
Financial donations can also be made by cash or cheque and delivered or mailed to the Barrhaven
Legion at the address above. Cheques should be made payable to RCL641 Poppy Trust Campaign.
Please mark the envelope “Attention: Poppy Campaign Chairperson.”
If you have any questions, or if you would like more information on how you can help,
please do not hesitate to contact me at:

national rape crisis centres, and local police agencies.
Goals:

abuse of children, acquaintance rape, domestic violence and will also be covered.

Legion Launches Virtual Wall of Honour and
Remembrance for 2013
OTTAWA, ON, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2013 – Every year, for more than ninety years,
millions of Canadians have supported The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign and
Remembrance Day ceremony. They have done so by attending cenotaphs and monuments
for Remembrance ceremonies held across this country and by wearing the Poppy.
Last year, Canadians were afforded another opportunity to show their respect for
all Veterans: The Legion asked Canadians to send a photograph of a deceased Veteran to
Dominion Command, The Royal Canadian Legion. These photos, in turn, were displayed on
the large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the
Remembrance Day Ceremony held on November 11th and were later posted on the
Legion’s website and available to all Canadians and everyone around the world to see.
Building on its success from last year, The Royal Canadian Legion is asking
Canadians to Remember and help build this “Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance” by
sending in their photos to Dominion Command. These photos should also include the name
of the deceased, years of service, element or force to which the departed belonged or
regiment/unit.
Relatives or friends of a beloved Veteran may have the deceased Veterans’
photo displayed on the “Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance.”
Photos, either a high resolution digital image or a hard copy, may be sent to
Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa, ON, K2L 0A1 (no originals please as they
cannot be returned) or electronically to rememberingthem@legion.ca or
aleurmemoire@legion.ca.
For further information please contact Bruce Poulin at Dominion Command, at
(613) 591-3335 ext. 241 or by cell at (613) 292-8760 or bruce.poulin@legion.ca.
