Liberation and Remembrance Symposium
This year marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War and the liberation of Europe. Eight decades later we reflect on Canada’s contributions to the war effort, unsung heroes and narratives that remained “under the radar,” and the lessons that resonate today, lest we forget.
Doors open at 9:15 a.m. Each presentation will last approximately 45 minutes followed by a question period. Snacks and lunch will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.
