Welcome to The Memory Project

The Memory Project is one of The Historica-Dominion Institute’s most successful educational programs. Founded in 2001, the Memory Project connects veterans and Canadian Forces personnel with students online and in classrooms across the country.  The veterans in The Memory Project represent a wide range of conflicts, including the First World War, Second World War, Korean War, Peacekeeping Operations and modern conflicts. Our volunteer speakers share stories of their service experience and help today’s young people understand the selfless sacrifices Canada’s men and women made and continue to make in war and peacetime.

Featured speaker: Margaret Haliburton - Second World War - Navy

“...I always say, I think I'm the only girl whose mother told her to join up, and that wasn't because she wanted to get rid of me, but she was a very adventurous woman….She said to me one day that she just didn't understand what was the matter with her daughter; that if she'd had a chance, she would have joined up the very first day.”
