For RCL Dominion Command's official position on the attaching of the Poppy with other devices  http://www.legion.ca/Home/FAQ_e.cfm#PR Refer to the section: Poppy & Remembrance Question:  Can I attach the Poppy to clothing with another type of pin? Answer:    There have been many queries related to the wearing of the lapel Poppy, specifically as it relates to using a Canada flag pin or other such fastening device in the center of the Poppy. It is the position of the Legion that the Poppy is the sacred symbol of Remembrance and should not be defaced in any way. No other pin, therefore, should be used to attach it to clothing. While this should be the practice of all Legionnaires, it is recognized that the Legion cannot control its form of wear by the public. It is undoubtedly better to wear a Poppy with a Canadian flag in the center than not to wear a Poppy at all. The best that we can do is to encourage Legionnaires to wear it properly
