Beyond the Unknown: What’s Remembrance All About, Charlie Brown?
Dr. Dean Oliver will examine the patterns and opportunities within remembrance projects, examining how they do—and don’t—differ from commemoration. He will also discuss how major events and sites of memory can both enhance and complicate our understanding and appreciation of the past.
Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms Members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709 )757-8090.
