Royal Canadian Legion: Inga Cruse

Royal Canadian Legions Dept: A symbol of remembrance for the men and women who have risked their lives to fight for our country, many Canadians don the red-and-black flower on their left lapel ahead of Nov. 11, according to CTV. The Legion hasn t had the greatest membership renewals in the past 30 years, says Inga Cruse, executive director at the Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command. People think you need to be a veteran to join and with Remembrance Day just days away, some of Canada s Royal Canadian Legions say low membership enrolment has had them scrambling to find volunteers for their annual poppy campaigns. And while the Royal Canadian Legion has managed the poppy campaign since 1921, in recent years, legions have found themselves consistently in need of more and more volunteers come the end of October.
