SUMMARY:Stories of Veterans: A Tribute to Military Service in Saskatchewan
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured to be hosting a lecture on Thursday\, November 7\, at 7:00 PM at The Artesian to commemorate the service of Saskatchewan’s military veterans. \nSpeakers: \n \nMark Coté is an information junkie\, scientist and instructor at the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies at the University of Regina. He is passionate about both family and aviation history — especially that concerning RAF Bomber Command and his father’s RCAF service in WWII. He is the author of That Lucky Old Son: Re-discovering my father through his World War II Bomber Command and POW experiences. Mark will share the story of his father Leonard\, who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War\, ultimately serving in the 158 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. He was gunned down over Holland\, and spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner before returning to Saskatchewan. \n  \n \nJames (Jim) Pratt is originally from the Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation. He served 2 years with the RCMP in the 1970s as a band constable\, before joining the Regina Police Service (RPS). He retired from the RPS in 2008 as a corporal of 27 years. He also served for 19 years as a reserve field military officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Now an instructor in the Justice Studies program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic\, James works alongside Treaty 4 elders as a traditional helper. He will be speaking about his service as well as that of his father’s\, William Pratt\, who served in the Second World War. James continues to share his traditional knowledge both in and out of the policing world\, serves on several community boards\, and advises the policing community when asked to do so. \nJames is married with 2 sons and a daughter\, 9 grandchildren\, and 2 great-grandchildren with whom he spends lots of time. He enjoys hunting\, fishing\, and sharing his traditional knowledge with young people. \n  \nAll are welcome! This event is free to the public\, though a $10 donation is suggested to support Heritage Regina’s educational programming. We will also be collecting donations for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Fund. \nThank you to the Royal Canadian Legion – Saskatchewan Command for sponsoring this event. \n  \nMark Coté will have copies of That Lucky Old Son available for purchase after the lecture (cash only).
