A vintage wedding dress adorned with hundreds of poppies stands beside a vintage military uniform; together, they form a striking visual tribute to the spirit of Remembrance Day. | Both are part of a special Remembrance Day project created by the residents at Rotary Villas at Crocus Plains assisted living facility in Brandon, where the dress and uniform are now on display in the facility’s main dining hall. | Over several weeks, a small group of dedicated residents constructed more than 600 handmade poppies using tissue paper and felt that were then used to cover the dress. | The idea for the dress came from Rotary Villas’ wellness and recreation co-ordinator, Joyce Scantlebury. It’s among several different Remembrance Day projects she organized for residents in lieu of in-person events this year.
