As Remembrance Day approaches, Tecumseh Town Council has marked the beginning of the annual Poppy Drive.
Members of the Tecumseh Legion Branch 261 held a ceremony on Wednesday.
“Very young people, some of them are still teenagers, are deploying all over the world for Canada,” said James Dorner, a Tecumseh councillor who served in Afghanistan.
“We will wear this poppy to remember them.”
Each member of council had a poppy pinned to them, honouring those who serve and have served.
All money raised will support local veterans. The campaign will continue until Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.
