hirdar01 Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 Does anybody know if restoration work has started on the memorial at Vimy Ridge? If so, will all or only part of the memorial be covered. Any details at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyOfficer Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 hirdar1: I was there two weeks ago and didn't see any reconstruction/repair going on at all; at least to the monument proper. i did notice some new panels that had been replaced though.

Tom Morgan Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 The information I was given from Vimy was that the Memorial and the upper part of the Memorial Park where the memorial stands, would be closed for two years. The original message said that they expected to have to replace about 25% of the stone forming the memorial. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 The latest I hear is that contracts for the work have still not been signed, and the project will not begin until the autumn, at the earliest. As Tom says, a large section of the site will close for 2+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
