Details: From a life-long passion for Canadian inventors, Professor Mark Rector inspired his students with tales of great Canadian inventors. Now he’s speaking across the country about his smash bestseller OH CANADA! Our Home and Inventive Land! with the many intriguing, and poignant tales of amazing Canadian ingenuity!
In this special “Canadian Military Invention History” presentation, Mark will be focusing on Canada’s distinguished and unparalleled contributions to military successes - from the tragedy of the Avro Arrow to the triumph of millions saved by the gasmask - from Canada’s first female Aeronautical Engineer in WWII to the first two female jet fighter pilots in the world flying in combat missions for Canada. As well as the day when our Canadian troops did what no other country's armies could when we took a cold desolate ridge in France and we became a nation!
