    As an artist I moved by the Vimy Ridge exhibit. Not only did it make me proud of our Canadian troops but it moved me how people interacted with the creative activities. It allowed me to pause reflect and take a moment to appreciate everything about Vimy Ridge. Beautiful

    This museum makes it fun for kids to learn about world war one and two. The way its kinda like a maze inside is really cool. Its easy to learn with simple words on the wall and things that are hands on.

    The Canadian War Museum really makes you reflect on Canadian contributions in international affairs and wartime. What sacrifices were made of the young men and women, it makes you proud to be a free Canadian.

    This picture depicts a monumental museum which showcases the historic and uplifting past of our country and all the profound events that brought us to where we are today. Events that could of disrupted and completely abolished all the liberties and freedoms that make up Canadian culture today. This museum emphasizes how Canada truly stood together and united in times of war and despair, the museum shows first hand all of the darkness that our country was clouded by during times of hardship from wars. The museum also brings to reality all of the light that broke through the darkness during these times, all the light that arose from the people and the military of Canada standing together for what's right and protecting all of the liberties and freedoms that is entrenched within Canada. This museum perfectly emphasizes my Canadian identity because it shows that even during times of war and despair, our country backed up our Canadian freedoms, liberties and ideals. Our Canadian identity is that we overcome many major adversities as a united and proud country, this museum emphasizes the strength of this beautiful country called Canada.
