Every year, in the days leading up to Remembrance Day, the Aylmer Legion Branch 33 Poppy
Campaign raises funds to support veterans and their families in the community. Bursaries are
granted to students who are veterans themselves, or the children, grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, spouses, or surviving spouses of Veterans, who are in need of financial
assistance.

For the 2025–2026 academic year, the Aylmer Legion Branch 33 Poppy Trust has proudly
awarded a total of $5,800 in bursaries to nine deserving recipients: Emilie Christianson, Jacob
Christianson, Noémie Gagnon, Xavier Kaufman, Laurence Labelle, Danica Lamothe, Philippe
Rollin, Nicolas Roy, and Abby-Gayle Sauvé. Paul Fleury, accompanied by Branch Sergeant-at-
Arms Bruce Howarth, presented the awards to the recipients, with Emilie and Jacob
Christianson to receive theirs at a later date.
