Here in Canada we wear a poppy throughout the month of November. It is a longstanding tradition.
The Royal Canadian mint now has available a special coin pack commemorating the 100th anniversary of Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Fields.
The website states: It is one of the First World War's most recognized poems and an integral part of Canadian culture. The poem' s striking imagery has served to enshrine the poem and the poppy as enduring and powerful symbols of remembrance for all Canadians, to this day.
