Tsawwassen Springs golf course raised over $2,000 earlier this month for the Royal Canadian Legion's Poppy Fund.
The golf course donated $10 from every green fee it collected from Nov. 8 to Remembrance Day.
"It turned out to be pretty successful," said general manager Chris Hood, noting the weather was very good on Remembrance Day.
A total of $2,030 was raised this year. The golf course raised about $1,400 last year with the fundraiser, he said.
The Legion's website notes that while the poppy campaign only lasts a few weeks each fall, poppy funds are "hard at work all year long." Examples of uses include: Assisting any person (and their dependants) who is serving (or who has honourably served) in the Canadian Forces and are in need of assistance.
Legion Veterans Transition Program (at UBC): a relief and recovery program for trauma-related stress from military service.
Housing for homeless veterans, such as Cockrell House in Victoria.
Disaster relief when declared by governments.
