As part of the national celebrations marking the 90th anniversary of the end of the Great War, the Departmental Council for the Pas-de-Calais is organizing and coordinating a number of events. Our region was the stage for a world conflict: English, Belgians, Canadians, NewZealanders,Poles, Czechs, Portuguese, Native Americans, Senegalese, Indians, Chinese and Germans were just some of the nations that fought on our territory.
Today, the Council for the Pas-de-Calais is particularly concerned to apply the principles of sustainable development to the memorial sites, so that they can welcome and educate a wide audience in the right environment.

The “90th Anniversary of the end of the Great War” brochure presents events which will occur in Pas-de-Calais during the following weeks but is also a very useful guide to Wartime Memory sites in the department.
