LEST WE FORGET 27 In collaboration with the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command, we seek to recognize and highlight veterans for the sacrifices made in service of community and country. The legislation that applies to naming plant varieties operates on the principle of “One Variety-One Name”. This affords us the unique, timeless and global opportunity to recognize veterans for the contributions to Canada by naming new crop varieties in their honour. All can participate! The Legion’s Saskatchewan Command will accept applications from all provinces, Canada wide. Since it’s inception, this program has named over 17 new varieties after deserving veterans.
