Nov 11 2021 - Poppy Project

 

 Wake Up on the Bright Side 

The Poppy Project has come to the Niagara peninsula for the second year.  Last year Niagara Falls had over 11,000 stitched  poppies on nets over the exterior and in the interior of the Museum. This year, Niagara-on-the-Lake will celebrate Remembrance Day with the display at their Museum.  It concludes November 12th. 

Here's the youtube link to the coverage:

Cambridge Ontario has over 33,000 knit and crocheted poppies on display this year. 

You might remember the English projects in 2014 at the Tower of London, which marked the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.  The massive installation of ceramic poppies was named: Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red.  In 2018, the Tower marked 100 years since the end of WWI with another installation.  That one was an evening illumination.  Here are pictures in this article HERE:
