Flags lowered for National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge

The National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge is held on April 9.  In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will be flown at half-mast to honour and remember those who fought.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917 was the first time that Canadians from coast to coast fought in a battle together against a common enemy and is considered by many to be a turning point for our country and the beginning of Canada’s march towards nationhood.
