Saturday is Remembrance Day and we’re using #tbt to showcase a building that is steeped in military history and is still used to this day – Mewata Armoury.

Each autumn marks the anniversary of the events of the Battle of the Walcheren Causeway. The members of The Calgary Highlanders would resiliently defy the odds here while etching their legacy upon the Second World War. To learn more, visit our article: valourcanada.ca/military-histo…
