MÉMORIAL DE VIMY Pas de Calais, France
L'hommage le plus impressionnant que le Canada a rendu à ceux de ses citoyens qui ont combattu et donné leur vie au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, a trouvé son expression concrète dans le Monument Commémoratif du Canada à Vimy, qui surplombe majestueusement la plaine de Douai du sommet de la crête de Vimy, à environ huit kilomètres au nord-est d'Arras. Le Monument représente un hommage à tous ceux qui ont combattu pour leur pays durant ces quatre années de guerre et, en particulier, à ceux qui ont donné leur vie. Sur le socle du Monument, sont gravés dans la pierre, en français et en anglais, les mots suivants :
Sur les parois du Mémorial sont inscrits les noms de plus de 11 000 soldats canadiens «manquant à l'appel et présumés morts» en France.
Le terrain du parc de ce champ de bataille, d'une superficie de 91,18 hectares, «est un don de la nation française au peuple canadien», comme l'indique une plaque à l'entrée du Mémorial. La construction de cet ouvrage gigantesque commença en 1925; onze ans plus tard, le 26 juillet 1936, le roi Édouard VIII dévoilait le Mémorial de Vimy.
Le parc qui entoure le Mémorial est l'oeuvre d'experts en horticulture. Une multitude d'arbres et d'arbustes du Canada y ont été plantés pour rappeler les forêts et les bois canadiens. Autour du Mémorial, au-delà des coteaux verdoyants qui y mènent, s'étendent des parcs boisés. À la vue des tranchées et des tunnels parfaitement restaurés, le visiteur peut imaginer l'énorme tâche que le Corps canadien dut accomplir ce matin historique, il y a bien des années.
Le 3 avril 2003, le gouvernement du Canada a désigné le 9 avril de chaque année comme étant la journée nationale du souvenir de la bataille de la crête de Vimy.
