As a proud supporter of The Vimy Foundation, Ellison Travel & Tours is pleased to highlight the Vimy Pilgrimage Award – an exceptional opportunity for Canadian youth aged 15-17 who demonstrate outstanding volunteer work and community leadership.
This prestigious award provides a fully funded, week-long educational journey through Belgium and France, where recipients explore historic First World War sites while connecting with peers from across Canada. The program recognizes young people making meaningful contributions to their communities, with selection based on service and dedication rather than academic achievement alone.
Application Deadline: November 25, 2025 at 11:59 PM (local time)

A non-profit organization focused on preserving and promoting Canada’s First World War history and legacy of leadership, The Vimy Foundation’s flagship education programs, the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize and the Vimy Pilgrimage Award, have brought hundreds of motivated and deserving young people to Belgium, France, and the Netherlands to experience history at significant First World War and Second World War sites. The programs enable youth to connect with peers from across the country and examine history beyond the classroom, building on underrepresented narratives and global perspectives, and encouraging students to develop their critical thinking and leadership skills.
