Through an annual wreath ceremony and white lapel poppy campaign Vancouver Peace Poppies hopes to encourage Canadians to broaden their Remembrance Day focus:

  • to include the civilians who now make up 90% of conflict victims
  • to challenge the beliefs, values and institutions that make war seem inevitable
  • to urge our government to promote and fund effective non-military means of dispute

White Poppies is an initiative for a more broadly focused Remembrance Day in Canada.

We want to encourage Canadians to broaden their Remembrance Day focus to include the civilians who now make up 90% of conflict victims; to challenge the beliefs, values and institutions that make war seem inevitable; and to urge our government to promote and fund effective non-military means of dispute resolution.
