100 NL students taking part in Trail of the Caribou Pilgrimage

Honouring History, Inspiring Youth

Before embarking on the 2025 Trail of the Caribou Pilgrimage, 100 students from across Newfoundland and Labrador visited The Rooms to explore the legacy of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Through exhibits, stories, and reflection, they gained a deeper understanding of the courage and sacrifice that shaped our province.

Now, these young ambassadors are walking in the footsteps of heroes—visiting iconic Caribou monuments in France and Belgium, paying tribute at Vimy Ridge and the Menin Gate, and honouring figures like Private Thomas Ricketts and John Shiwak.

We’re proud to have played a role in preparing them for this powerful journey of remembrance.
