#ygkChallenge: Wear A Poppy

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Remember. Whether you have plans to attend one of the many Remembrance Day ceremonies offered in YGK next week or sit in silent reflection, take these next few days to show your respect and gratitude by wearing a poppy.  The poppy is a symbol of appreciation for the over 700,000 Canadian veterans who have served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace.  If you haven’t already done so, pick up a poppy today and wear it with pride.
