Vimy Ridge

Atop the site once known as 'The Pimple', is the stirring Vimy Memorial. Its two white pillars reaching up high over the crest of the ridge mark the spot where the final German defensive in the battle for Vimy Ridge was overcome.

Its importance is marked by the fact that this land was donated to Canada for their accomplishment in capturing what was considered the most heavily fortified position on the western front in World War I.
