Join us for a 10-day tour of the battlefields of World Wars I and II
In the Spring of 2018 a group of Calgary and area cadets will have the opportunity of a lifetime to follow in the footsteps of so many Canadians who left Canada to defend freedom and democracy in both World Wars. This tour is funded from the proceeds of the Victories Centennial Ball & Gala and from donations.
