Discover Library and Archives Canada

In this episode we’ll examine the Lest We Forget project. Since 2001, Library and Archives Canada has been supporting the initiative to connect youth to Canada’s history by making military service files available in person and online. Each year, on Remembrance Day, we reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans in order to preserve our values and freedoms. What better way to acknowledge the sacrifices of these men and women than to bring their stories to life. In this episode we speak with Project Manager Kyle Browness about the project, its expansion across the country and how teachers, students and Canadians alike can participate.

In this episode, we’ll introduce you to Project Naming, a community-engagement and photo-identification project launched by Library and Archives Canada in 2004. We will be talking with the project’s manager, Beth Greenhorn, who has been leading this ongoing initiative. She will talk with us about the project, the plans for its expansion and how you can get involved.
