This years Remembrance activities will be a challenge for Legions across the country and Thorold will be no exception. You can read the notice mailed out to members HERE

We are excited to announce this year we will be able to accept Poppy donations online via the GoFundMe Charity website.

We are also looking for volunteers to help “POPPY” and you DO NOT NEED a uniform. A schedule is posted at the branch for the time and places available. Please contact the branch to sign up to help participate in this very worthy and needed cause.

The Branch ceremony will be held on Remembrance Day, November 11th, forming up at the cenotaph at Memorial Park for the service at 11:00 am. The ceremony will be limited to participants only, in order for us to follow the outdoor gathering protocols that are in place at the time.

From the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom. We invite everyone across the country to show their recognition by proudly wearing this symbol of Remembrance and taking a moment to reflect.
