On 22-25 April 1951, Canadian troops fought a difficult battle in the hills above the Kapyong Valley.

In late April 1951, the retreating Chinese and North Korean forces regrouped and counter-attacked in the western and west-central sectors of the front.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge began on Easter morning 1917. Amid sleet, mud and shellfire, the soldiers of the Canadian Corps fought their way up the ridge to take the high ground overlooking the Douai plain.

The Canadian Air Force (CAF) officially became the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and a permanent component of Canada’s defence force on 01 April 1924.

We recently presented 14 awards in Primary Color Poster, Junior Color Poster, Junior B&W Poster, Junior literary Poem, Junior Literary Essay and Intermediate Literary Poem to local students.
