Canada Remembers Guide: self-guided routes to Canadian war graves in Europe
Author Kimberley Walker's free guide to Canadian WW1 and WW2 cemeteries in Europe, built so visitors pick a route and get an itinerary to use in the car.
What Kimberley needed
Canada Remembers Guide is a free resource by author Kimberley Walker for visiting Canadian war cemeteries, memorials, and museums in Europe. I built the site around her routes: pick a war, a starting city, and one, two, or three days, and you get a self-guided itinerary with photos from every stop and a printable version to take on the road.
The guide is built on Kimberley's routes: dozens of cemeteries and memorials, sequenced into drivable days. The site had to make the right route easy to find and hand visitors an itinerary they can use in the car.
