Vimy Foundation and Chris Shannon

Twitter: I think that a terrible mistake, said Chris Shannon of the Vimy Foundation, according to CTV. The park has been known as Vimy Park since 1933. The move was put forward by the Borough of Outremont and Montreal city council will vote on the change Tuesday afternoon. "You're cutting back and eliminating part of our history and in fact burying it. A small group of about a dozen people held up signs Monday night at the park with slogans such as Leave Vimy Alone! and Lest we forget! At city hall, Coderre was asked several questions about the park. Coderre pointed out on Twitter that the park name is not officially listed by the province and therefore, in his view, the move doesn't amount to renaming. He said he been to Vimy Ridge and supports veterans, adding on Twitter that next year we will commemorate our veterans who fought at Vimy with public place in Montreal that truly honor their sacrifice.
