World War II: Victory in Europe celebration

November 2018 marked the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War. A century later, the conflict continues to affect us — even if we don’t fully realize it.

From the Battle of Queenston Heights to the burning of Washington to the little-known role of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, this 12-part series of videos hosted by Tim Compeau brings to life the major events of the conflict.

Listen to the stories of soldiers who fought at the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the loved ones back home who cherished them.
