A small change is coming to one of Canada's most beloved traditions.

The Royal Canadian Legion has established October 24 as the permanent annual start date for its National Poppy Campaign. Until now, the start date varied from year to year. From here on, Canadians will know exactly when to expect the poppy boxes to appear.

The campaign will continue through November 11, giving Canadians a consistent period to honour fallen service members and support living veterans.

The poppy has been a Canadian symbol of remembrance since 1921, inspired by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae's famous poem, In Flanders Fields. It is a simple flower with a deep meaning, and millions of Canadians wear one every year.

The campaign also provides practical assistance. The Legion says nearly $20 million is donated to its Poppy Fund throughout the year, helping support veterans and their families. Importantly, funds raised locally remain in the communities where they were donated, helping veterans access support closer to home.

This year also marks the Legion's 100th anniversary, which makes the campaign especially meaningful.

For generations, Canadians have worn the poppy to remember those who never came home. The donations that come with it help make sure those who did return are not forgotten either.

Save the date, and share this with someone who always wears theirs.

One of the most common misconceptions clients bring into a session is that deep tissue means as much pressure as possible.

Real deep tissue work is about accessing specific layers of muscle with the right technique, not just pushing harder. The therapists who understand this protect their bodies, get better results, and have clients who actually feel better the next day instead of just sore.

How do you handle clients who ask for more pressure than what is appropriate for them? Tell us below.

For more than 100 years, the Newfoundland National War Memorial has honoured the sacrifices of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians during the First World War.

In 2024, one of those fallen soldiers finally came home.

An unknown Newfoundland soldier from the First World War was repatriated from France and laid to rest at the Memorial—representing all who made the ultimate sacrifice and have no known graves.

As we prepare to mark the 110th anniversary of the Battles of the Somme and Beaumont-Hamel, we remember their courage, dedication and sacrifice.
