A group of cadets volunteering to distribute Remembrance Day poppies were turned away at Cabela’s in North Edmonton, an act one legion representative calls disappointing.
“The management of Cabela’s informed them that, no, they weren’t welcome there,” said Greg Laskey, cadet liaison and poppy fund representative for the Royal Canadian Legion Norwood Branch.
Folks in Regina seeking an alternate source for fishing gear can visit locally-owned Pokey’s. Readers are invited to publish/plug other local alternatives in the comments.
Update: An apology has been posted to their Facebook page. It’s pretty lame, though.
