Meet our new sheep!

Every year, a herd of sheep keep the grass short on the preserved battlefields at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France.

In 2024, our Remembrance Club animal characters are welcoming a new character: a sheep from Vimy!

We asked Canadians to help us choose a name for our new woolly friend. Thank you to the thousands of people who voted! Your voices were heard loud and clear!

Pax the sheep will tell students about memorials in our communities and around the world. Pax is the Latin word for peace.
