For the first time, cash may not be required to donate for a poppy this year.
The Royal Canadian Legion is launching a new tap-enabled poppy donation box this year, allowing those to use their tap enabled credit card, or mobile phone to give to our veterans.
Part of the reason for the change is a health and safety measure for during the pandemic.
About 200 of the electronic poppy donation boxes will be available across Canada starting on October 30th.
The traditional poppy boxes will also still be available.
