This will be at the London Central Library.
On behalf
of the Upper Canada Military Re-enactment Society and the organizing committee
for the "Marching Through Time" Living History Symposium 2014, I
would like to share this invitation to attend this unique, captivating,
educational and enjoyable symposium. This symposium is a dual commemoration:
The bicentennial of the end of The War of 1812 and the centennial of the
outbreak of World War 1. Attached, you will find the 'e-invite' that contains
the information required to peruse the various symposia offered by 22 speakers,
including our opening and closing Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Jane Errington: Keeping Hearth and Home
During Peace and War: Women in Upper Canada 1791 to 1815. Professor
of History at Queen’s University, and Professor Emerita and former Dean
of Arts at the Royal Military College of Canada, Dr. Errington is a
prize-winning author and has spoken extensively on life in early Upper Canada
R.H. Thompson, C.M.: Hidden
Stories and Lost Boys of World War 1. Mr. Thompson
spearheaded two unique war vigils that projected the names of each of the 3600
Canadians who died at Vimy Ridge, and the 68,000 Canadians who died in the
First World War onto the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The latter
vigil also saw locations in the provincial capitals of Canada, as well as
Canada House in Trafalgar Square, London, England. Mr. Thomson is a well-known
Canadian film, television and stage actor, and an ardent supporter of Canada's
Veterans.
On our website, http://www.historysymposium.com
you will find all the necessary details as to registration, symposium
location and timing. Advanced registration is the only way to guarantee
admission and lunch.
Additionally, a formal dinner featuring period dancing and an evening
concert by London's ‘Canadian Celtic Choir', will round out this fabulous day.
Cost is $65.00/pp for the symposium and $65.00/pp for the
dinner/dance/concert.
