Barris returns to Shedden with Days of Victory theme

Speaking to veterans at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

On May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered to the Allied armies in Europe, ending the Second World War in that part of the world. Canada had played prominently in the victory. But many of the great human interest stories have rarely been told. In his well-known raconteur style, bestselling author Barris offers visuals and accounts from his book “Days of Victory: Canadian’s Remember 1939-1945.” As usual, copies of his wartime Canadian books will be available for sale and autographing after the talk and Remembrance ceremony.

When: 9:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012.

Where: Keystone Complex, Shedden, Ontario.
