A Massey teenager is finding out how Canada became a nation first hand.
Faith Emiry, a student of Espanola High, is taking part in a fully funded program in France and Belgium this week.
She was one of 20 youth chosen by the Vimy Pilgrimage Award Committee to take in battle sites, including Vimy Ridge Monument, as part of the committee’s youth program.
To qualify she wrote about a family member, William Walter Ingram, who was killed in battle and buried in Belgium.
