When facing finals, the best thing to ease a weary mind can be a reality check — a little perspective goes a long way to managing those study stresses. This Sunday, Edmonton commemorates the 100th anniversary of Canada’s victory at Vimmy Ridge. You can visit Camp Vimy in Winston Churchill Square, talk with WWI soldier interpreters and hear their stories of the battle of Vimy Ridge. In addition you can walk the battle map of Vimy laid overtop the City of Edmonton to experience the scope and scale of the battle and salute those who served and continue to serve during a commemorative parade. Step back into history for an afternoon and maybe your finals schedule will seem a whole let less grand in the grand scheme of things.
