KN Explains the Remembrance Day poppy. What it is, why people wear it, and who owns the trademark.
Every year in Canada around Nov. 11, the little red flower known as the poppy starts popping up.
Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day, a memorial to Canadians who have served and continue to serve during times of war, conflict and peace.
And the poppy is the official symbol of remembrance.
This year is particularly special because it is the 100th anniversary of the poppy.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg!
The poppy has a long history and there are lots of people who disagree about its use, its colour, and even how to wear it.
There’s a lot to unbox here. Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Check out the video to learn more.
