100th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge

April 9, 2017 marks a milestone for Canadians as we connect with our country’s past, celebrate who we are, honour our exceptional achievements, and build a legacy for tomorrow.

Learning about our country and its history is an important and valued part of Alberta's curriculum. The K–12 Social Studies Programs of Study (Programmes d’études sociales) include a strong focus on teaching and learning history and emphasize our country’s origins, Canada’s role in significant world events, and the ways in which Canada’s cultural diversity has shaped our society.
