To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 115 unveiled its newly renovated cenotaph and surrounding park, now named Place Vimy, on August 17, 2017.

Place Vimy was dedicated later on August 13, 2018. The twenty-five iron posts lined around the cenotaph were sponsored by people in the community. Each post has an inscription on it, in memory of loved ones. A new Place Vimy sign was erected at a central location in the gardens.

A Vimy Oak was planted on September 28, 2018, with Vaudreuil-Soulanges MP Peter Schiefke attending. On June 18, 2020, a new Vimy Oak was planted. A local area resident was kind enough to pick it up near Dundas, Ontario and deliver it.

The Place Vimy Bench is also located here.
