Programs celebrating culture and heritage in Lambton County.
Learn about the Sarnia War Remembrance Project, a comprehensive historical record of Sarnia’s contributions and sacrifices made during times of war. Tom Slater, the project's author, will talk about the project, the research process and information on the resources used, his vision for how the book will be used by the community, and where to access it.
Tom Slater is a retired teacher who began the project in 2012 after discovering no formal record existed of Sarnians who died serving Canada in times of war. Over the course of nine years, the project expanded through additional research and revisions, which resulted in a comprehensive history of the ordinary men and women who left jobs, schools, farms and loved ones to fight for Canada’s freedom in conflicts around the world.
This webinar is open to members of the public as well as teachers and students in Lambton's school.
