| On April 9, 2025, The Royal Canadian Legion’s 1,350 Branches will lower our flags to half-mast in remembrance of those who fell during the Battle of Vimy Ridge. This marks the 108th Anniversary of the pivotal 1917 battle, where more than 3,500 Canadians lost their lives and nearly 7,000 were wounded. The victory at Vimy Ridge was a significant turning point in the First World War. |
| The Canadian National Vimy Memorial, which stands on land ceded to Canada by France in 1922, now serves as a place of solemn reflection and gratitude for all who served in the First World War. |
