The Vimy Foundation presents the Vimy Pilgrimage Award to recognize the actions of young people who demonstrate their commitment to volunteer work through outstanding service, positive contributions, notable deeds, and bravery. Their acts may have served their peers, school, community, province or country.
The Vimy Pilgrimage Award consists of a fully funded week-long educational program in Belgium and France to study Canada’s tremendous First World War history. Scheduled for April 2-10, 2018, the award program features daily visits to unforgettable sites including museums, cemeteries, monuments, and historic battlefields, as well as participation in a Vimy Day commemoration ceremony at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.
20 Canadian students were selected from across the nation. Thank you to everyone who applied! We appreciate your dedication to community service and your interest in Canadian history.
