It was a special moment for Norfolk County with an even deeper connection for a local family.
On Friday, a dedication service was held across from the Carillon Tower where a Vimy Oak tree was planted.
Dave Judd spoke to us about the special meaning behind the tree planting as a Canadian.
Then, he talked about why it was so special to his family.
Charles James Judd served on the front lines and was a storyteller after the war.
He would tell his grandson stories of Vimy, and thankfully wrote many of his anecdotes down for the record books.
Judd spoke about that special moment on Friday, standing in the rain remembering a good man.
Hundreds of saplings have been planted at memorials, legions and other sites across Canada.
