A new shiny blue van sits waiting for the members of the Eastview Boys and Girls Club in Oshawa. And it’s all thanks to the community members of Durham Region for their contributions towards the poppy fund. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 handed over the keys to the new van yesterday.“A common misconception is that people think the legion is rich,” says Don Legree, a legion member.“It’s not true We cannot touch that money.”

For President David Harlow the experience is rewarding.“All those people who gave their loonies or toonies, this is the sort of thing the money goes to,” he says adding the club aids veterans too. For the three young girls who were there, the donation was a complete surprise.
And judging by the excitement on their faces, it was a great one.
