From classroom project to Vimy Ridge.
Today I had the privilege of welcoming a wonderful family from Prince Edward Island to Vimy. Their son recently won a school competition about the Battle of Vimy Ridge and was determined to see the places he had been studying with his own eyes.
Together we explored the trenches, walked among the memorials, visited the cemeteries, met the sheep that help preserve the battlefield landscape, and stood beneath the towering Vimy Memorial.
One of the most rewarding parts of guiding is watching history move from the pages of a book into a real place. Today, that happened.
Thank you for sharing your family’s Vimy journey with me.
