Take a walk in the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park

Created to honor the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the end of the First World War, the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park is a place of reflection about the past, the present, and the future. The 4-acre commemorative park sits next to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. It serves as a peaceful and contemplative space for visitors, featuring Vimy Oak Trees and a stunning wildflower field. The park is a beautiful setting to pay homage to the Great War generation.

Admire the Canadian National Vimy Memorial

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial pays tribute to the Canadian soldiers who served in the First World War and lists the names of those who died in France with no known grave. Situated at the site of Canada’s triumph in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the Memorial is a testamant to the memory of the fallen left behind.
