In Our Fathers' Footsteps
May 8, 2020

Updated: May 9, 2020

Let’s walk! Across farmers' fields, past cows grazing in the pasture, along country roads to Wichmond (in the Dutch region of Gelderland) and the graves of 13 Canadian soldiers. There we find a very special Maple tree planted this week in honour of "In Our Fathers’ Footsteps.” A heartfelt dedication ceremony awaits us in May 2021!
