DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Join us for a presentation based on a new local history book by Catherine Marie Gilbert, due for release in the spring of 2012. Entitled ‘Yorke Island and the Uncertain War, Defending Canada’s Western Coast During World War II’, this unique look at the history of the Yorke Island fort includes over 100 photos, both archival and modern, and stories from local residents who were living in Kelsey Bay and on Hardwicke Island when the fort was being built. =0D=0A=

Learn how the members of these small communities were affected by the influx of hundreds of soldiers and sailors, and how the fort developed over a period of six years. The presentation will also have highlights of memories and excerpts from letters from veterans posted on Yorke Island. Danny Brown, who guided tours to Yorke Island in 2004 for the Museum and who assisted with the research, will be on hand to introduce the presentation. =0D=0A=
