Royal Canadian Legions across Canada will host different Remembrance Day ceremonies this year due to COVID-19.
Dominion Command has put out a protocol for Legions to follow in marking November 11th, which includes for the first time ever, spectators will be discouraged from attending in person, due to the limited space and requirement to physically distance.
The head office is also stating there will be reduced colour parties, no parades and wreaths will be pre-positioned rather than laid out by participants.
No members of the cadet corps or junior rangers are to be present either.
When it comes to the Poppy Campaign, in most locations, traditional poppy boxes will accept coins and donors will receive poppies as usual.
Due to the challenges presented by COVID-19 restrictions, Legion Branches will be discouraged from setting up donation tables or placing volunteers at business entrances and other public locations.
Members and supporters are encouraged to contact their local branch to review final plans.
