The historic high school with ties to Hollywood, Vimy Ridge, and the Prime Minister's Office.

On today's show: a group from the Piikani First Nation are in France as part of a historic trek to Vimy Ridge. We hear why they're there; we hear about the latest agricultural tech that the U of C is showing off at this year's Aggie Days; we chat with the folks behind the Second Chance Art Sale, happening this weekend.

Today marks 108 years since the Canadian Corps attacked Vimy Ridge, marking the first time all four Canadian divisions fought together as a cohesive unit. Nearly 3,600 Canadian soldiers died and about 7,000 were wounded. Tamara Cherry welcomes Tim Cook, chief historian and director of research for the Canadian War Museum, to remember this notable day in Canadian history.

Subscriber-only episodeWaarom wordt Vimy Ridge vaak gezien als het moment waarop Canada zijn nationale identiteit vond? In deze aflevering duiken we in de achtergrond van de slag bij Vimy in april 1917, waar voor het eerst alle vier de Canadese divisies samen vochten onder eigen leiding. De aanval was niet alleen een zeldzaam militair succes aan het Westfront, maar ook een diep symbolisch moment voor de Canadezen zelf. Met zorgvuldige voorbereiding, nieuwe tactieken en ongekende eenheid werd Vimy meer dan een heuvel: het werd het fundament van een zelfstandig Canada. Wat maakte deze strijd zo bijzonder? En waarom leeft Vimy nog altijd voort in het collectieve geheugen van het land? Aanmelding Luisteraar Rondleiding Fooi geven!? Klik hier om naar onze FooienPod pagina te gaan.

A few years ago, the Canadian musician Brendan McLeod and his band The Fugitives wrote a collection of songs inspired by the real-life experiences of soldiers who fought at the Battle of Vimy Ridge during the First World War. Now, The Fugitives are getting ready to perform those songs in a new stage show, “Ridge,” at the Firehall Hall Arts Centre in Vancouver. Brendan joins Tom Power to talk about the project and the significance of Canada's sacrifice at Vimy Ridge.

It's 1917. The French are suffering mutinies and the Entente is desperate for a breakthrough anywhere. It's not to be. Arras, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, Cambrai, and Caporetto – hundreds of thousands of men killed and no breakthrough. At the end of the year, the Germans have reason to believe they could win the whole war … Continue reading "World War Civ 44: The Agony of the Allies"

I've had the pleasure of knowing Don since high school. We weren't always connected but our worlds collided from time to time. Because flights cross-Canada sometimes have layovers or long delays there were opportunities to renew that friendship. I was in Calgary on the cusp of a weather event when we spoke about Don's years in the Canadian Forces. We also returned to the story he shared of taking his Dad to Vimy Ridge and the beaches of Normandy. I knew someday I'd make a record to supplement the photos Don took on this adventure supporting his Dad's dream.

The victory at Vimy Ridge, France, remains Canada's most storied attack of the First World War. Beginning on April 9, 1917, all four Canadian divisions advanced side-by-side for the first time in a single attack. But the victory came at a cost: During four days of fighting, Canada suffered more than ten thousand casualties. Today, war letters offer a window on that long-ago time. Here, in their own words, are the stories of the soldiers who fought, and the loved ones back home who cherished them.Music credits: Stories Behind the History theme music: "The Red River Jig" performed by Alex Kusturok, licensed from the artist.

“There's something about the ghosts who live in the house where you live. Some kind of an inexpressible pull between the people who have lived and loved under the same roof as you have.” Today, a Dave and Morley story that is seldom heard: a story about place, about history, and about remembering and sharing those histories with the next generation. Also, we play one of our (and your) favourite Story Exchanges: about the bagpiper at Vimy Ridge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the early morning hours of April 9, 1917, a chilling wind swept across the scarred and desolate landscape of northern France. The air was heavy with anticipation and the acrid scent of spent gunpowder. As the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, thousands of Canadian soldiers huddled in the muddy trenches and underground tunnels, their hearts pounding in their chests. They were about to launch an assault on a formidable German stronghold, a strategic high point known as Vimy Ridge. The Battle of Vimy Ridge was not just another bloody skirmish in the devastating conflict that was World War 1. It was a pivotal moment that would test the mettle of a young nation and its people. It was a battle that would see innovative tactics, heroic acts, and heartbreaking sacrifices. It was a battle that would shape the course of the war and leave a lasting legacy. This is the story of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a tale of courage and determination, of strategy and innovation, of victory and loss. It is a story that takes us from the global stage of a world at war to the personal struggles of the men who fought and died on that distant ridge. It is a story that resonates with the echoes of history, reminding us of the horrors of war and the enduring spirit of those who face them. So, let us journey back to those fateful days of April 1917, to the muddy trenches, the booming artillery, and the smoke-filled skies of Vimy Ridge.

In this podcast episode, Larry Ostola talks to Ted Barris about his book The Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet of Victory published by HarperCollins in 2022. In Battle of the Atlantic, Ted Barris provides a well-researched account of Canada's longest continuous military engagement during the Second World War. The years 2019 to 2025 mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic - the war's most critical and dramatic battle of attrition. For five and a half years, German surface warships and submarines attempted to destroy Allied trans-Atlantic convoys, most of which were escorted by Royal Canadian destroyers and corvettes, as well as aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Throwing deadly U-boat “wolf packs” in the paths of the convoys, the German Kriegsmarine almost succeeded in cutting off this vital lifeline to a beleaguered Great Britain. During the desperate days and nights of the Battle of the Atlantic, the Royal Canadian Navy grew to 400 fighting ships and over 100,000 men and women in uniform; by V-E Day in 1945, it had become the fourth largest navy in the world. While Canadians think of the Great War battle of Vimy Ridge as the country's coming of age, it was the Battle of the Atlantic that proved Canada's gauntlet to victory and a nation-building milestone. Ted Barris is an award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster. His writing has regularly appeared in the national press as well as a wide variety of magazines. He's also worked as a host and contributor for CBC Radio, PBS, and TV Ontario. Barris is the author of 20 best-selling nonfiction books and is a member of the Order of Canada.

This Queer Legends Quickie introduces you to Sarah Worthman, founder of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative. Worthman is investigating the persecution of 2SLGBTQ soldiers during the First World War by the Government of Canada and she has uncovered some amazing things. This story is the about a young, queer Canadian hero from Brandon, Manitoba - Private Frederick Lea Hardy. He enlisted as a teenager, was imprisoned for being caught with another soldier and later made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada at Vimy Ridge. Private Hardy is the only known gay or bisexual soldier to have their name on the Canadian Vimy Memorial. Hardy wasn't the only queer Canadian soldier in the First World War. However, we only know of the heroic sacrifices of Canada's queer soldiers from instances when Canada turned on its own soldiers for simply being themselves. You'll also hear more from Sarah in Season 2 of Queer Legends: An Oral History Podcast.

Episode 104 – Leadership Lessons from Vimy Ridge We can take lessons from so many before us and many of those lessons are simple when you think about them. In this episode, Brian and James tackle the battle endured by the Canadian Army at Vimy Ridge in 1917. Julian Byng and Arthur Currie were before their time in developing tactics that enabled the Canadians to take the ground that the British and French before them failed to conquer. These leaders established maneuvers that are still used today and they did so under the know-how of leadership ability.

This one takes an odd turn, but there's no editing on the continent. Brussels, Vimy Ridge, The Somme, and Amiens.

The final week of artillery fire that preceded the Canadian assault on Vimy Ridge, was an experience that German soldiers holding the ridge would never forget.  Known by the Germans as "Die Liedenwoch" or "The week of suffering",  one veteran stated that his experience at this time was the worst week he went through in four years of war.In this episode, we look at the Canadian preparations for the assault on Vimy Ridge, and hear about how the French experiences at Verdun drove Canadian planning.  Canadian units sought to outdo each other in terms of trench raids and we hear about the disaster of the 1st March 1917, where over 600 Canadians were killed, wounded, or missing in a trench raid that went wrong from the moment it began.We hear the story of a German soldier's first encounter with a "Red Indian" and look at the contribution of indigenous Canadians to the war effort.  We meet "Ducky" Norwest, a Cree Indian who became the most feared sniper on the Western Front, whose stalking skills earned him the sobriquet "The Ghost of No Man's Land".  Our episode concludes with a remarkable visceral document found in German archives, written by a man who survived the week of suffering.Support the podcast:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsbloghttps://www.patreon.com/foostepsofthefallen

Our latest episode takes in the massive cemetery of Cabaret Rouge which stands in the shadow of Vimy Ridge.  We hear a remarkable first-hand account of being captured by the Germans, written by an Olympic oarsman, and the connection to an officer of the Queens who lost his life in a costly raid.  We meet a flying obsessed officer who lost his life in company with a relation of one of the greatest scientists of all time, hear about the perils of joyriding in a Rolls Royce behind the line, discover the tragic story of a soldier shot at dawn, and hear about a plowing accident that uncovered a British dugout, and the remains of an idealistic officer killed after being in the trenches for less than three hours. I recall a terrifying encounter with a crowbar-wielding French builder, and our podcast concludes at the grave of Canada's Unknown Warrior.This episode is dedicated to the memory of Ben Simmonds.
