Since 2006 the Vimy Foundation has offered the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize to students 15 to 17 years of age - from Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany to study the interwoven First and Second World War history of their respective nations. During the ten-day-long, fully-funded educational program, award recipients travel to Belgium and France - to visit key sites, major museums, historic battlefields, cemeteries and memorials - as well as connecting with like-minded youth across multiple regions and nations.
