At the eighth annual “Take A Vet to Dinner,” this year, Ted Barris brings his unique storytelling to enhance the event. The author of 16 bestselling, non-fiction books will addresses the dinner about the job of getting veterans to do what they pathologically cannot – talk. Based on his bestselling book, “Breaking the Silence: Veterans’ Untold Stories from the Great War to Afghanistan,” Barris offers some insights to a few of the nearly 4,000 interviews he’s done with Canadian veterans.
