PA Day at RCRM: Etching and Carving at Vimy

Did you know that Canadian soldiers waited in tunnels under the battlefield before the assault at Vimy Ridge? Curious to learn how they spent their time waiting? To find the answers, join us and our special guest, Zenon Andrusyszyn, director of Canadigm Group. A workshop about a very little known aspect of the assault at Vimy Ridge and an excellent opportunity to discover more about the carvings made by Canadian soldiers in northern France at the beginning of April 1917. Youth will learn the history and get a chance to make their own plaster carving. Designed for youth aged 8-12.

Two sessions are available:

• 11:00am
• 12:30pm

Pre-registration on Eventbrite required to save your child's spot. Limited availability, one carving for one child, Parents or guardians accompanying the minor(s) are not required to register unless they wish to create their own carving.

Please note: this is not a day camp, youth must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times; colouring activities are available for younger children.
