DID YOU KNOW?

The Poppy has been Canada’s Flower of Remembrance since 1921, when the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Legion adopted it as the official Flower of Remembrance. Today, the red Poppy honours the memory of the more than 118,000 Canadian servicemen and women who lost their lives in the line of duty since Confederation.

Canada and Newfoundland were separate dominions within the British Empire during the First World War. In the same way the red Poppy is worn on November 11, a blue flower is worn in Newfoundland and Labrador on July 1, Memorial Day, in fulfillment of the promise to never forget a generation lost at the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel in 1916.

Caitlin Lindstrom-Milne, Artist

"My grandfather was a Second World War veteran so it was crucial that this piece pays tribute to all who served. I wanted to keep the focus on the significance of the Poppy while balancing it with the forget-me-not flowers. But this isn’t your typical symmetrical wreath: from right to left, the different sizes of poppies create a sweeping spiralling motion that results in a looser, more artistic composition. As a tattoo artist, I’m accustomed to my designs carrying a lot of emotional weight for the client and I love seeing how much joy and happiness it brings them. I’m hoping this coin will do the same to those who receive it – that it brings them peace and happiness, and does their loved ones justice by honouring everything they did for us."
