The Memory Project educational materials explore WWII, the Cold War, and Peacekeeping from 1950 to 2000 through the eyes of those who were there. These booklets, as well as the video, Crew of Seven, help educators engage students in lively and meaningful discussions on Canadian military history and prepare them for having a veteran visit your classroom.

Mr. Fernand Henley from Montreal has offered The Memory Project a synopsis of the story of the Second World War,
for teachers, students and veterans alike.
