Did you know that Canadian soldiers waited in tunnels under the battlefield before the assault at Vimy Ridge? Curious to learn how they spent their time waiting? To find the answers, join us and our special guest, Zenon Andrusyszyn, director of Canadigm Group. A workshop about a very little known aspect of the assault at Vimy Ridge and an excellent opportunity to discover more about the carvings made by Canadian soldiers in northern France at the beginning of April 1917. Youth will learn the history and get a chance to make their own plaster carving. Designed for youth aged 8-12.

Pre-registration on Eventbrite required to save your child's spot. Two sessions are available (11:00am and 12:30pm). Limited availability, one carving for one child, Parents or guardians accompanying the minor(s) are not required to register unless they wish to create their own carving.

Please note: this is not a day camp, youth must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times; colouring activities are available for younger children.

Access the site via Elizabeth Street. As of 1 April 2026, visitors will be required to provide a government issued photo ID by the commissionnaire on duty at the controlled access point to the military property.
