Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign starts October 30th In preparation for the start of the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign on October 30th 4th Canadia...n Division Support Group Commander, Colonel John Vass and 4th Canadian Division Support Group Formation Sergeant Major, Chief Warrant Officer Jack Durnford buy the first poppies at the Petawawa Royal Canadian Legion. In light of COVID-19, support to Veterans Week activities across our region and country will look a little different this year. Veterans Week activities, like many other events are being impacted by the pandemic. This year the scope and conduct of Remembrance Day will be reduced, however, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members may attend and participate in ceremonies as long as Public Health Measures (PHMs) are respected. If not feasible, we encourage members to virtually attend your community events if feasible or watch the National Remembrance Day ceremony via Facebook Live. It is important that we continue to be present in our communities, and honour our past. The 4 CDSG Command Team encourage all members of the Defence Team to demonstrate your support by wearing a poppy beginning October 30th. La campagne du coquelicot de la Légion royale canadienne commence le 30 octobre En préparation du lancement de la campagne du coquelicot de la Légion royale canadienne le 30 octobre, le commandant du Groupe de soutien de la 4e Division du Canada, le colonel John Vass, ainsi que le sergent-major de formation du Groupe de soutien de la 4e Division du Canada, l’adjudant-chef Jack Durnford, achètent les premiers coquelicots à la Légion royale canadienne de Petawawa. En raison de la pandémie de la COVID-19, le soutien des activités organisées dans le cadre de la Semaine des vétérans dans notre région et partout au pays sera un peu différent cette année. Les activités de la Semaine des vétérans, tout comme de nombreuses autres activités, sont touchées par la pandémie. Cette année, la portée du jour du Souvenir ainsi que le nombre d’activités organisées seront réduits. Les membres des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) peuvent toutefois assister aux cérémonies pourvu que les mesures de la Santé publique (MSP) soient respectées. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous encourageons les militaires à assister aux activités communautaires de façon virtuelle ou à visionner la cérémonie nationale du jour du Souvenir en direct sur Facebook. Il est important que nous continuions d’être présents dans nos communautés et de rendre hommage à notre passé. L’équipe de commandement du GS 4 Div CA encourage tous les membres de l’équipe de la défense à démontrer leur soutien en portant un coquelicot à partir du 30 octobre.
