In 2003, the Government of Canada declared April 9 as "Vimy Ridge Day", to honour and remember the battle that took place at Vimy Ridge, France, in 1917, during the First World War." ~3 i$ @5 @# e
: K3 _$ w: a6 t) S! o, o! c9 F- JOn April 9, 1917, the Canadians did what other allied forces had so far failed to do – they took Vimy Ridge. At Vimy, regiments from coast to coast saw action together in a distinctly Canadian triumph, helping create a new and stronger sense of Canadian identity. After Vimy, the Canadian corps never looked back, and its success raised our international stature and earned us a separate signature on the Treaty of Versailles that ended the war.' `; ]3 c: X4 h& S% v7 X b

It stands as a tribute to all who served their country in battle and paid such a price to help ensure the peace and freedom we enjoy today.5 w$ l Y r2 o I* U
