Ted Barris
“Battle of Britain -
Canadian Airmen in their Finest Hour”
Pat Thompson introduced Ted Barris, a Canadian writer, journalist, professor and broadcaster.
He writes a weekly column, "The Barris Beat", and is a regular contributor to The Globe and Mail, the National Post, CBC Radio programs and the CTV News Channel. He taught journalism at Centennial College in Toronto.
Many of you are familiar with his animated, energetic and entertaining stories about Canadian war heroes. He again delivered.
He spoke about his most recent book, which has made the top 10 Canadian Non-Fiction Best Sellers list this year.
“Battle of Britain – Canadian Airmen in Their Finest Hour” is an assembly of unknown stories of Canadian airmen, ground crew, engineers, aeronautical designers, medical officers and civilians in the Battle of Britain in 1940. It is an amazing story about our courageous and valiant men and women who fought for freedom. Their sacrifice is not forgotten.

Show & Tell
Roger Setka gave a very interesting and informative narrative on the history behind the traditions of Remembrance Day.
We then listened to a reading of Col. John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields and observed two minutes of silence to honour our fallen hero’s and thank them for our freedom.
