For the record

The Dominion Institute of Canada sent me an e-mail about a worthwhile project they're undertaking:

Dear Damian,

On June 4th, The Dominion Institute launched its latest major project: The Memory Project : Stories of the Second World War.

The Dominion Institute will provide every living Canadian veteran of the Second World War who wants to share their story of service and sacrifice with the opportunity to do so. The Dominion Institute will record the oral history of thousands of veterans and digitize their artifacts and memorabilia.

The Dominion Institute will ensure that these stories are never forgotten and available to all Canadians through our website.

Once completed, the Institute will have created the definitive record of Canada's participation in the Second World War through thousands of first-person accounts of servicemen and women.

The Dominion Institute needs your help now!

Do you know a veteran who wants to share their story of service and sacrifice?

Are you a veteran of the Second World War?

Do you want to volunteer and help the Dominion Institute honour Canada's veterans?

Together, we can offer our Second World War veterans the gift of remembrance. We can ensure that their service and sacrifice is never forgotten.

Thank you.

Marc Chalifoux
Executive Director

The Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War is made possible through the generous support provided by the Government of Canada through the Celebrations and Commemorations Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
