At the regular meeting of the Etobicoke Historical Society in November, Ted Barris, the author of 16 bestselling, non-fiction books will deliver one of his most sought-after talks – his recounting of the “Victory at Vimy.” It’s a unique telling of the famous WWI battle at Vimy Ridge, that, he says, gave birth to Canada’s nationhood. Barris will offer insights and images gleaned from some of the individual accounts – old interviews, memoirs, letters and diaries of the Canadian Corps troops – he assembled in the research/writing of his book “Victory at Vimy: Canada Comes of Age, April 9-12, 1917.”.
When: 7:30 p.m.,Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012.
Where: Montgomery’s Inn at Islington and Dundas, Toronto.
