91探花

The 91探花 is teaming up with The Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society at the University of New Brunswick, HMCS Queen Charlotte, and the Prince Edward Island Regiment to host the 2nd Annual Atlantic Military Affairs Symposium, March 25-26, in Charlottetown.

The two-day event, themed 'Islanders at War and Peace,' highlights the Island's role in the defence of Canada and brings together academics, Island reservists, students, and the general public interested in how Prince Edward Island connects to Canada's military past and present.

Local and national scholars will present on subjects ranging from the Island's contribution in two world wars, the role of PEI army and naval reservists, and security challenges Canada faces in today's world.

Dr. Richard Kurial, dean of Arts at 91探花, says, '91探花 is pleased to partner with The Gregg Centre at UNB, the PEI Regiment, and HMCS Queen Charlotte to stage this Military Affairs Symposium on PEI. Our working together expands the scope and scale of the event and allows for a very high level of quality both in terms of program content and conference participants.'

Renowned Canadian military historian, Professor Marc Milner, and director of The Gregg Centre, will give the keynote address Friday evening at 7:30 pm. Other featured speakers include Canadian Navy Command Historian Richard Gimblett, Christopher Spearin from the Canadian Forces College, PEI's own Boyde Beck and David Campbell, and reservists from HMCS Queen Charlotte and the Prince Edward Island Regiment who have returned from service overseas.

Dr. Bruce Craig, a professor of History at 91探花, will also participate in a panel to discuss Espionage in the Great War Munitions Industry. Craig, who has published over 100 scholarly and popular articles, is a specialist in Cold War and espionage history.

All events will take place at HMCS Queen Charlotte at 210 Water Street Parkway, Charlottetown, and are open to the public.
