About this Event
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, the unsung heroes and narratives that remained “under the radar,” and the lessons that resonate today, lest we forget.
The symposium consists of 45-minute presentations followed by Q&As.
Refreshments and lunch will be provided, and a cash bar available after 11:00 am.
