In Their Steps / Through Their Eyes
Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, students from Owen Sound District Secondary School and Georgian Bay Community School present the research they preformed on local men involved in the Invasion of Western Europe. The students traveled to France in time for the June 6th ceremonies and paid tribute to these soldiers at their gravesites.
Created in partnership with the Meaford Museum, the Owen Sound servicemen are represented in Billy Bishop Museum, while those from Meaford are featured there.
Thank you to the Grey and Simcoe Foresters Foundation for sponsoring this exhibit.
