The Brantford Poppy Project is a community-driven art initiative that transforms thousands of handcrafted poppies into a meaningful public art installation. Created by volunteers, makers and residents, each poppy is individually crocheted, knitted or crafted to be incorporated into a large-scale display, where residents and visitors can pause, reflect and remember the sacrifices made by those who served our country.
