For the fourth consecutive year, HomeEquity Bank, provider of CHIP Reverse Mortgages, is the proud presenting partner of the Legion National Foundation's Digital Poppy Campaign to honor Canadian veterans. Together, the brands launched the Letters Home campaign – a unique way to help bring Canadians of all ages a poignant reminder of the many wartime sacrifices of Canada’s veterans.
Using today's QR codes to drive poppy donations, as well as to share an inspiring and moving video featuring Canadian veterans discussing the importance and power of wartime letters, these genuine letters – sourced from the Canadian Letters & Images Project at Vancouver Island University – offer a unique and insightful window into the past.
To further help spread the important message and get Canadians excited about the Digital Poppy, the Legion National Foundation and The Royal Canadian Legion have enlisted the support of several high-profile ambassadors, including Margaret Atwood, Kurt Browning, and Ashley Callingbull.
