Residents can donate to campaign through "Poppy Tap Box" at Meridian Community Centre.

Pelham residents and visitors now have a new option to participate in the Royal Canadian Legion's Poppy Campaign.

Until November 11th, a digital tap option is available to anyone making a donation at the Meridian Community Centre donation box.

Tap payment is available for donations of $2, $5, or $10.

The box is one of two available in Pelham, along with traditional collection boxes at a variety of participating businesses.

This comes as the Town releases details of this year's Remembrance Day ceremony.

The November 11th service will take place at Veterans Park on the Legion grounds, and will start around 10:45 a.m.

Residents can attend, but are encouraged to wear a mask.

Depending on the weather, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has arranged for a fly-by of the Avro Lancaster.

The service will also be livestreamed for anyone who cannot attend in person.
