Thousands of Handmade Poppies Adorn Niagara-on-the-Lake in Tribute to Veterans

A group of volunteers has been preparing for Remembrance Day this month by placing thousands of handmade poppies throughout Niagara-on-the-Lake. Over the past eight weeks, the Poppy Brigade has created numerous poppy installations around the historic town.

Barbara Worthy and her team of women volunteers have crafted thousands of poppy flowers. Hundreds of these flowers are now attached to a net cascading from the bell tower of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum.

“We decided with all our ladies or volunteers — we said, why don’t we do our own Poppy Project; and we’ve tried to do something entirely different,” said Worthy.
