We are encouraged to buy poppies from groups at the Clearspring Centre this week. Stan Funk, leader of the Cub Patrol says the Steinbach Scouts sold poppies at the mall on the Saturday. Funk adds the Girl Guides, Cadets and other sectors will continue to sell poppies at the mall until Remembrance Day. The purpose is to raise awareness to the kids selling them and people buying them that we have troops still fighting overseas to protect our freedom and the awareness of the freedom our troops have given us in the past. The money raised goes to the Legion and a portion to the groups selling them.
