加拿大2026年罂粟花募捐启动：首次可用手机感应捐款，罂粟信托基金年募近2000万加元
加拿大首都渥太华，加拿大皇家退伍军人协会（Royal Canadian Legion）10月24日启动2026年全国罂粟花募捐活动。今年的活动首次推出手机感应捐款，人们可用智能手机在感应式罂粟募捐箱上轻点捐款，这项技术由英国 Toucan Giving 提供，并得到 BMO 的支持。
作为该协会百年纪念项目「不要忘记铭记」的一环，一幅4米乘7米的壁画24日在多伦多联合车站揭幕。壁画纪念第一次世界大战老兵 Allan McLean「Scotty」Davidson，他是多伦多蓝衫队队长，率队夺得1914年斯坦利杯，1915年在战场牺牲。壁画将展出至11月13日。
其他捐款方式还包括：由加拿大皇家银行支持的2000个「献上敬意」感应罂粟箱、以及亚马逊加拿大连续第三年提供5加元、10加元和20加元的在线捐款选项。10月24日至11月11日每晚6时30分至9时30分（东部时间），国会山参议院大楼将投影罂粟花雨。
该协会成立于1926年，会员超过30万人。其罂粟信托基金每年收到近2000万加元捐款，用于支持退伍军人及其家属。
Canada's 2026 National Poppy Campaign Launches With First-Ever Tap-to-Donate by Phone; Poppy Trust Fund Raises Nearly C$20 Million a Year
Ottawa, Canada's capital. The Royal Canadian Legion launched the 2026 National Poppy Campaign on October 24. For the first time, this year's campaign offers tap-to-donate by phone: people can tap a smartphone on a contactless Poppy box to give, using technology from U.K.-based Toucan Giving, supported by BMO.
As part of the Legion's centenary initiative "Don't Forget to Remember," a 4-by-7-metre mural was unveiled on October 24 at Toronto's Union Station. It honours First World War veteran Allan McLean "Scotty" Davidson, captain of the Toronto Blueshirts, who led the team to the 1914 Stanley Cup and was killed in action in 1915. The mural will remain on display until November 13.
Other ways to give include 2,000 "Pay Tribute" tap Poppy boxes supported by RBC, and, for a third year, online donations of $5, $10 and $20 through Amazon Canada. From October 24 to November 11, the Poppy Drop will be projected on the Senate building on Parliament Hill each evening from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. ET.
Founded in 1926, the Legion has more than 300,000 members. Its Poppy Trust Fund receives close to C$20 million in donations each year to support veterans and their families.
