When you take your students to the places they read about in their textbooks, a real and lasting appreciation takes hold. It’s one thing for students to read about trench warfare or Canada’s role in history; it’s quite another to walk in the trenches themselves and visit the monuments built to honour Canada’s special role in the liberation of Europe. History lives and breathes for students travelling on a Vimy Ridge tour in 2012.
The Vimy Ridge tours were designed by Dave Robinson, a retired history teacher, in partnership with EF Educational Tours, a company with 45 years of experience taking students on safe and exciting travel adventures all around the world.
Timed to correspond to the 95th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, these unique national student remembrance tours will take your students to the battlefield where Canada was tested under fire and forged as a nation.
You can be the teacher that gives your students a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Vimy Ridge; the place where Canadian Brigadier-General Alexander Ross, a commander at the battle witnessed, “…the birth of a nation”.
