Canadian Military Records
There are two lectures/ workshops I conduct on Canadian Military records.

2. Researching your WW2 Canadian Ancestors- specific to conducting research on WW2 veterans both casualties and those who survived. Includes navigating and making ATIP requests.
Introduction to Saskatchewan Homestead Records
This lecture/workshop is about the process, history, and records of homesteading in the province we now call Saskatchewan.
Remembrance Day
While I am not a veteran myself, many of my family members are/ were. Including both my parents. Remembrance and veterans affairs have been a life long cause and passion of mine. I am a active member of the Royal Canadian Legion, serving as the Public Relations Officer for Branch 56 Swift Current. I have three different talks in regards to remembrance:
The History of Remembrance Day and the Poppy
The History of the Silver Cross Mother and Her Role
Remembrance What is It and Why its Important
