Vimy Inspires Tomorrow is a history-based leadership program for youth in Canada, ages 13-17. It is designed to sharpen the leadership skills that they can use to develop a transformative community project. Youth who complete the program are eligible for a project grant of $2,500 to assist them in bringing a community project to life.
To inspire your group of youth to develop a community project idea, you can get access to free First World War history-based modules. Participants learn how numerous Canadians took on diverse leadership roles, and the impact of their decisions, actions, and contributions during and after the war. The bilingual modules enable youth to examine, discuss, and exercise key leadership skills that will benefit them today and in the future.
Then students submit their project idea and participate in two tailored workshops, highlighting leadership and project management. These are designed to help participants create refined, realistic project proposals. New this year, the Vimy Foundation awards six such projects a $2,500 grant to help recipients fulfill their community goals.
Individual youth and groups can now apply! The deadline for submissions is October 14, 2025.

Last year, the government of Saskatchewan implemented a new way to get your transcripts. It is a parntership with a reputable company called MyCreds. Many Universities around the world use this company to issue their trancripts. There are a few steps to getting these and the first step is to get your personal email onto your My School Sask account. In order to do this, please fill out this form for us: https://forms.gle/VKcC4uMgdepBMkiX7
