Welcome to the Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War project blog! This space will be home to a behind-the-scenes look at the work of our interviewers and researchers as they travel coast to coast collecting the stories and memorabilia of Second World War veterans.

Fresh off the road from Montreal, the Memory Project team is gathering steam as we launch into our busiest time – the season of Remembrance.

We met with and collected many amazing stories from WWII veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto at the end of September. Next we were off to meet with Montreal veterans at the VAC Hospital in Ste-Anne de Bellevue in the West Island of Montreal on October 1st where the Liaison-Day Centre staff treated us like gold and made for a smooth day of interviewing and documentation – thanks again guys!

Finally we hosted luncheon at L’Hôtel de l’institut in downtown Montreal on October 2nd where vets caught up over a delicious meal and shared some of their memories with our team.

With the stories and memorabillia gathered at these events, we are excited to see our new website go live. Keep checking back for updates as our team works around the clock to get new profiles recorded and online!
