Growing a social conscience
November 5, 2019
Argyle students harvested a bumper crop of Remembrance Day poppies from the most unlikely place - their metal work shop. Selling out in under two hours they have raised more than $100 for the Lynn Valley Legion.
When an idea blooms
“It started last year, when a student Ava Johnson - a gifted artist - said, about Nov. 10, she was going to use some scrap to make a poppy,” said Ryan Edgar, a metalwork teacher at Argyle Secondary School. “It was phenomenal and I decided this would be one of the first projects students work on this year.”



Forever poppies

Help the Legion this week
This is a busy time for the legion membership, whose core volunteers are diligently donating hours upon hours.The Lynn Valley community can help at the legion in many ways this time of year. The main fundraiser and awareness campaign is Poppy Tagging – that is handing out poppies to members of the community and collecting donations.Lynn Valley community members are asked to volunteer by visiting the legion – 1630 Lynn Valley Road – any day until November 11, beginning at 12 noon. Poppy taggers will be given a tray, a short briefing and assigned a location in Lynn Valley. The work is flexible for whatever time the volunteer has. Locals are also encouraged to pick up a poppy tray to take to their workplace. Call the branch (604) 987-2050 to learn more or volunteer.Veterans Plaza Service
