I wanted to bring light to a man who has done so much, but received very little recognition.
I chose this question because this year is the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge and we have a Vimy Oak planted right here in Waterdown.
Vimy Ridge helped awaken Canadian nationalism but it also played a huge role in splitting the politics of Canada for decades to come.
I wanted to further my knowledge of the many ways that the battle of Vimy effected the community that I live in.
My favourite part of Canadian History is looking at how far we have come and how we have changed to accept many different kinds of people.
I chose this question because I was able to touch upon an event in Canadian history that impacted both Canada's identity as well as my own.
