Government of Canada to mark 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge
April 9, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
“A century later, we continue to honour the service and sacrifice of the brave young men and women, at home and abroad, during the First World War. The four-day Battle of Vimy Ridge, which began early on April 9, 1917, was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together as one formation. The Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge is considered a historic moment that helped define Canada and the people we are today.”
The Honourable Kent Hehr, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
