We Remember: Canada’s Story is one of six books launched by the CIMVHR, the Royal Canadian Legion and the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services to help children from military, veteran and public safety personnel families build strength and coping skills. This title is a collaborative effort with input from 24 veterans from across Canada. Directed at elementary-school-aged children, the book explores the ways we remember and commemorate service during war and peacetime. The text is enriched by photographs preserved at LAC.
The event will be offered in English in the morning and in French in the afternoon—register for the session of your choice!
