Royal Canadian Legion member Chuck Simpson has been named Poppy Chair of the Year for the Legion’s District E.
“This was quite the shock to me,” said Comrade Simpson.
“This was a team effort, leading to a successful Poppy Campaign which will allow us to support our Veterans and their families. Again, I thank all for your support and effort and I am looking forward to this year’s upcoming campaign.”
Simpson also thanked the Legion members, Cadets from 85 Tornado Air Cadet Squadron in Grand Valley and 1849 Army Cadet Corps here in Orangeville, for their contributions to the Campaign.
He also mentioned the many stores, schools, churches and businesses, who allowed Legion Members to canvass inside and place poppy counter boxes in their storefronts for everyone’s use.
Comrade Simpson has served as the local Poppy Chair for many years and currently serves as First Vice President of Orangeville’s Legion Branch 233.
