“ACPA is very proud to support the Vimy Flight flypast to honour the valour and sacrifice of the Canadians who fought and lost their lives in the war,” said Capt. Kevin Vaillant, ACPA’s Master Elected Council Chair. “The story of the First World War cannot be told without recognizing the contribution of Canadian airmen and troops. We salute our fellow pilots on the Vimy Flight team, and all their partners and volunteers for making the flypast happen.”
