Jackson receives first poppy
The Ladner Legion used the launch of its annual Poppy Campaign last month to pay recognition to long-time Delta Mayor Lois Jackson during a presentation at city hall. Jackson was presented with a poppy to initiate the campaign from chair Gerry Bramhill, along with branch manager Jacky Hillairet, secretary Olwen Demidoff, treasurer Tom Easton and executive atlarge Frank Taylor. Also in attendance were
Delta police Chief Neil Dubord and fire Chief Paul Scholfield. Every year, the Royal Canadian Legion conducts the Poppy Campaign, along with thousands of its members, to raise funds from donations made from the distribution of poppies by volunteers. All donations go directly towards supporting veterans and their families. “It’s an honour to receive the first poppy for the Ladner Legion’s annu-
al campaign,” said Jackson. “Supporting our veterans and fostering the tradition of remembrance is vital in reminding us of the past sacrifices and the courage of those who served and are still serving.” The Legion also presented Jackson with a certificate of appreciation in recognition of the City of Delta’s long-time support of the Legion through grants, assistance with permits and the annual Poppy Campaign.
