Anyone planning a battlefields visit this spring might want to attend. The captains and the kings and Presidents will be there but tickets are available as fl!llows ...

Good evening,

I am writing to provide you with important information regarding
registration for the ceremony at the Vimy Memorial on April 9, 2017 to
mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

You must register online with Veterans Affairs Canada if you plan to
attend the ceremony at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on April 9,
2017. To register, go to the 100th anniversary website at
www.canada.ca/Vimy-100 and click on the "Registration" link.

Once you have completed the online registration, you will receive an
e-mail with instructions to activate your account. Once you have
activated your account, you will receive an e-mail to confirm that your
registration has been completed - this is not your official e-ticket.

Your official e-ticket will be sent to you via e-mail closer to the
date of the ceremony. IMPORTANT: You must bring both your e-ticket and
your photo ID (passport or National photo ID Card) on the day of the
ceremony. Without a printed copy of your official e-ticket and your
official photo ID, you will not able to attend the ceremony on April 9,
2017.

Registration will close on February 28, 2017, or earlier if capacity is
reached. Registration at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on the day
of the ceremony will not be possible.

Load of crap.
 
Don't hold back now! Say what you really think!

You may be right in fact. A group of us from the forum visited Vimy in the aftermath of this event. Apparently, it was pretty badly organised. The high heid yins got away pronto in limos and with escorts but everyone else had to wait hours in traffic to get away. It was ever thus ! :D
