Thank you to @prosserbrookian for being such a support and capturing our TGIT Speakers Series last night. Our hard working Executive Director @40s.life.with.kelsey enlightened the crowd about her newly published children’s book Whitey’s Journey and made the evening as delightful as we expected it to be, “even for the most stern, no-nonsense folks in the military”😊

Our next regular TGIT will be this coming Thursday with our next Speaker Series event happening Thursday January 29 where we will present Maria Reardon and her talk “Second World War From The Other Side - Part 2”.

Great news for Saskatchewan education: The Ministry of Education has launched Operation Calvados: The Documentary on its province-wide curriculum site, accessible to teachers.

👉It can be viewed here:
https://rover.edonline.sk.ca/en/rover/videos/4168

Operation Calvados: The Documentary highlights a remarkable community initiative to honour the Royal Regina Rifles on the 80th Anniversary of D-Day.

Operation Calvados is not just a tribute; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of community, sacrifice, and remembrance in Saskatchewan.
