Mr. Speaker, in 2008, a group of Londoners came together to establish the Remember November 11 Association, dedicated to help honour our heroes by promoting more remembrance events and further strengthen our nation's commitment to remember our fallen heroes.
Led by Director Sean Wilson, the Remember November 11 Association has purchased 1.2 million poppies which have been distributed to Legions and elementary and secondary schools across London-Middlesex.
This Saturday, I, along with members of our community, will come together to plant poppies to pay tribute to our brave men and women past and present of the Canadian Armed Forces. Local companies have donated materials and equipment, and generous Londoners have given monetary donations to make this event possible.
I encourage all Canadians to visit remembernovember11.com to learn more about this great initiative and to make a donation.
Lest we forget.
