547 Canuck Squadron Air Cadets in North Bay are fundraising for the trip of a lifetime.
With the 100th anniverary of Vimy Ridge next year, 40 Cadets and staff are registered to travel to the historical site and have been fundraising to help offset the cost, which is $3,000 per person.
They’re launching the “Bringing Back the Memories” flag sponsorship program at Sunday’s Battalion game.
Sponsors are invited to personalize a label with their name and message to fallen soldiers and veterans.
The labels will then be attached to the flagstaff of small Canadian Flags, taken to Vimy Ridge and placed at the memorial site.
Check out their GoFundMe page for more information.
