I chose this question due to the interest that I had about World War I and more specifically the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
My favourite part of Canadian History is learning about Canadians who contributed to medical research, innovation and human rights causes.
I chose this question because of my family's long service in both the Canadian and American military.
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.
