Thank you to the 2 Canadian Sisters

What an amazing community we live in.

Last night First Vice President Brian MacRostie welcomed Cheryl and Melanie Miner into our branch to receive a donation to our branch.

These ladies with their company 2 Canadian Sisters have been making Poppy Masks and then chose our Legion to donate the proceeds from their sales.

Shortly we will have masks to sell at our Branch be sure to stop in and purchase one. Check our social media for the arrival of the masks.

Welcome BACK

Poppy Appreciation Certificate 2021.

The recipients were:
Sgt Normand Bédard, one of the co-founders of the 2804 Casselman Army Cadet Corps and

Mr. Michel Dupuis the sponsor of the Cadet Corps.

Due to COVID-19 in 2020 the cadets were not allowed to participate and both of these gentlemen took up the torch. Last year both of them helped me in my duties to collect the poppy money and add more poppies in the boxes in the Casselman area. Casselman has over 26 outlets where poppy boxes are placed. It is always a pleasure and an honor to work with them. A big thank you to both of you. Your help on behalf of the 2804 Casselman Cadet Corps was really appreciated.
