Grand Forks’ Royal Canadian Legion is raising money by selling signs for Remembrance Day.

Sandra Doody, Poppy Chairperson at Branch 059, said proceeds will go to the Legion’s Poppy Trust Fund for Canadian veterans, their families and their communities.

At $15.75 apiece, the signs are meant to go up Friday, Oct. 29, when Doody said Mayor Brian Taylor will be pinned with the first poppy of 2021.
