Join history professor Geoffrey Hayes as we explore the Canadian battlefields of the First and Second World Wars. Our first week will find us in Northern France as we trace the route of the Canadian Expeditionary Force from Ypres to the Somme, Vimy Ridge and the Final Hundred Days of 1918. Then, after a day walking the beaches of Dieppe, we will travel to Normandy to retrace the Maple Leaf Route through the summer of 1944. From the invasion beaches we will follow the Battle of Normandy from through Caen and Falaise. At each stop, we will examine the Canadian contributions to these engagements, and discuss how we have come to understand and remember these important events. We will also have a chance to enjoy the beautiful sites of Belgium and France, including Paris, Mont St. Michel and St. Malo.
