WHAT IS RETURN TO VIMY?
Vimy Ridge is turning 90 in April 2007. This hill in France is more than a piece of Canadian history; it is Canadian soil. To mark the anniversary many world leaders will be there, a $20 million restoration of the Vimy Monument will be unveiled, and on April 17, 2007 something very special will happen.Students from 10 Durham Region schools will join 3,600 students from 70 Canadian high schools who will assume the identity of different fallen soldiers -- one for every Canadian soldier left behind on Vimy Ridge that day. Each student chosen to go to the ceremony will be given the responsibility of remembering a Canadian story and a Canadian hero. This is their story.
