We are one week away from recognizing a significant moment in Canadian history.
A 100th Anniversary Vimy Ridge ceremony and banquet is being held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Dryden on April 8th.
Organizer Cyril Ryan says tickets are $15 and that includes a Legion dinner, presentations and other surprises.
The event is open to the public and tickets are available at the Legion and Lotto One.
Poppy Chair Brian Buffett is encouraging everyone to come out.
Buffett says remembering Vimy Ridge is not only important for the military and Legion’s, but it’s a historical date for all of Canada.
The 1917 battle was the first occasion when all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and it was made a symbol of Canadian national achievement and sacrifice.
