My sister's observation - less people wear poppies this year. It maybe only because they don't pin their poppies on their outerwears but on their shirts or sweaters.
I usually start wearing the poppy after
I saw our Governor General David Johnston received the symbolic first poppy on TV.
i.e. before Halloween.

It's so sad that some peoples steal poppy
boxes. This is why we can't make Remembrance Day as a school holiday. Everyone should
learn the meaning of Remembrance Day and the poppy pin.
If you're planning to go to the National War Memorial in Ottawa for
Remembrance Day Ceremony, please dress warm. According to Environment Canada, today
will be mainly cloudy with 30% chance of flurries or rain showers. With the northwest
wind gusting from 30 km/h to 50 km/h, during the ceremony, the temperature may feel
like as low as -1°C.
