The Western Development Museum is proud to support the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport's Military Heritage Project which honours Second World War veterans. The Stories of Courage: Saskatchewan Second World War Veterans Remember video series features interviews with 17 Saskatchewan veterans. The WDM is pleased to share these videos in our Winning The Prairie Gamble Theatres in Moose Jaw, North Battleford and Yorkton. The video series will play in the theatres until November 30 and then again starting January 2, 2015 giving Museum visitors the opportunity to hear the veteran's stories. The videos are also available for all to experience through the WDM website at wdm.ca/EdPrograms/discovery boxes/19.htm.
The contributions of Saskatchewan residents during the Second World War are also recognized in the Wartime Contributions Discovery Box program for Grades 6 - 8. The WDM is thrilled to enhance our program by offering students the opportunity to view the Stories of Courage: Saskatchewan Second World War Veterans Remember videos in our Museums or by accessing them online via the WDM website. Also available to teachers are eight lesson plans created by the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport and the Ministry of Education to accompany the video series. The WDM program, in conjunction with the Stories of Courage: Saskatchewan Second World War Veterans Remember videos, provides students with an excellent opportunity to learn about the role of Saskatchewan people in the Second World war, both at home and abroad
