The Fall Tour
The Vimy Interpretive Centre in the early fall season
This is the original Canadian battlefield tour, built upon throughout the years but maintaining a simple goal - an extraordinary introduction to some of the famous Canadian battlefields and memorials of the First, and Second World War.
On this original tour program, you get a well-rounded and all encapsulating introduction to both great conflicts in our recent human history. Discover how they are linked to each other, and how they have impacted the world we live in today. This tour is guided by our lead battlefield guide Glenn Edmonds, and includes visits with some of our favourite battlefield friends.
There's something about this memorial that has us taking a picture every time we visit, I have the same picture on my phone for years - there's just something about this memorial. As tour guides, we are constantly in awe of the place.
