2018 Poppy Fund Campaign Audit Report Once again, a number of dedicated volunteers from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 36 Dundas, as well as volunteers from our community have made up Poppy boxes and delivered them to stores to display.  At the same time, they have given up their time to stand and take donations from people in Dundas, Ancaster, Westdale and the Meadowlands to support our charity.   Each year we’re asked where this money goes and I feel because of their generosity, they should be informed.  The following are the areas that the money we collected were given during the period from October 1st, 2017 to September 30th, 2018.
