秀色短视频 partners on third annual Atlantic Military Affairs Symposium
The 秀色短视频 is teaming up with The Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society at the University of New Brunswick, HMCS Queen Charlotte, and the PEI Regiment to host the third annual Atlantic Military Affairs Symposium in Charlottetown. The two-day event will take place on March 30-31 at the PEI Queen Charlotte Armoury, highlighting the Island's role in the defence of Canada, and features a keynote address by Colonel David Patterson.
Hoping to attract academics, Island reservists, students, and the general public interested in how PEI connects to Canada's Military past and present, the event includes presentations by local and national scholars, and Canadian Forces members on a variety of subjects ranging from the Island's contribution in two world wars, the role of the PEI army and navy reservists, security challenges Canada faces in today's world, as well as the issue of Canada's new generation of veterans.
Patterson-who recently returned from a year's service assisting with the surge of US Forces into Kandahar and southern Afghanistan-will kick off the symposium with his keynote address on Friday, March 30 at 7:30 pm.
Other speakers are Marc Milner and Lee Windsor from The Gregg Centre; Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Sprague, veteran of Operation Medusa in 2006 and RCAF Detachment Commander aboard HMCS Charlottetown (just returned from service off the coast of Libya); and Keith Hillier from Veterans Affairs Canada.
Admission is free and all are welcome to attend!
