Subtle Difference and Vimy Ridge

Vimy Ridge: Its a subtle difference few backyard gardeners would recognize even if they stumbled on the European oaks hidden in a Scarborough woodlot, a living tribute to Canadian soldiers who fought at Vimy Ridge nearly a century ago, according to The Star. His friend Monty McDonald, 69, who spent his summers on the farm as a boy, wants Millers legacy repatriated to somewhere near the Vimy monument in France and The leaves are shaped a little differently than the white and red oaks commonly planted in Ontario. The trees were grown near McNicoll Ave. and Kennedy Rd., from acorns gathered at Vimy by a late Canadian war hero. Leslie Miller planted the seeds when he returned from the First World War on his farm at what is now a bustling corner of Scarborough. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
