Huronia Museum is delighted to have Jack Granatstein join the community for the museum's annual Heritage Dinner

“the most prolific Canadian historian of his generation” with more than 60 titles to his credit. However, for many

commentary for CBC-TV's coverage of the 50th, 60th, and 65th anniversaries of D-Day, V-E Day, V-J Day,
the 90th anniversary of Vimy Ridge, and repeated Remembrance Day ceremonies alongside Peter
Mansbridge.

preservation activities in the region. This event is a sit-down and served dinner, prepared by ELM catering along
with silent auctions and dessert auctions taking place.

potential. Your donation will help

healthier, happier lives now, but also to grow into productive adults. By giving
today, you can help our kids build a better community for tomorrow.
YMCA programs have a positive impact on
all,
but particularly on our children, teens
and young adults -
dramatically enhancing their health and
overall well-being.
The economic impact of keeping our kids
