Hill 70 - Hack-A-Thon

Hack-A-Thon

In Canada, using the Hill 70 website, young people will build a virtual memorial for the battle. The Hill 70 virtual memorial will transform the creation of the memorial from a distant monument into an authentic and relevant activity taking place today and in Canada. In classrooms, at “hackathons”, or through independent study, students will research information available about each of the individuals who died during the Battle of Hill 70.

Please see the resources below for more information about how to host a hackathon in your classroom!

The Hill 70 Memorial Park, dedicated to the Canadian Corps that achieved victory at the Battle of Hill 70 in August, 1917, was completed on October 2nd, 2019. The centerpiece of the Memorial is an obelisk signifying the victory of the Canadian Corps at the Battle of Hill 70. In addition to the obelisk, there is a series of walkways dedicated to the six Victoria Cross awards, as well as plazas dedicated to Regiments and soldiers who figured prominently in the battle.
