All Legion Branches will fly their Canadian Flags at half-mast on April 9th 2015 from sunrise to sunset to commemorate Vimy Ridge Day.

It was during this famous battle that Canadians did what other allied forces could not; capture Vimy Ridge.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge, a battle that commenced on Easter Monday in 1917, is a day that many consider as historically important.

The capture of Vimy Ridge by all four divisions of the Canadian Corps that fought together, for the first time, played an important role in giving Canada the right to participate as a signatory at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
