Poppies are an important symbol of Remembrance Day and while most people wear just one a local group made it their mission to create thousands.
Guy Black, Sonny Son and Celinda Williams are part of a volunteer group who made 6,000 poppies and on Saturday, Nov. 10, these symbols of remembrance will be displayed on graves of fallen soldiers at a special vigil at Mountainview Cemetery in Vancouver.
Each poppy represents a B.C. soldier who died in WW I, according to Black.
Also this week, Nov. 5 to 11, there will be a display of artwork by Moody elementary and Evilia Espinosa Art Studio students on the theme of poppies in the galleria at Port Moody City Hall as a special Remembrance Day tribute.
