Ahead of Remembrance Day in less than a month, this November’s session of the Learn & Live series from the NOTL Public Library will offer patrons a chance to hear about the work of veterans in the field of military and policing.

Originally scheduled for May, the “Lessons of Service” session was cancelled and has been rescheduled for Monday, Nov. 4 at the NOTL Community Centre’s Mori Room.

Speaking at the event will be the following military personnel: Peter J. Warrack, retired from both the M.S.C. British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary GC, retired lieutenant-general Michel Maisonneuve, and retired major Barbara Maisonneuve.

The session will be moderated by local journalist Mike Balson and will run from 1 to 4 p.m.

The goal of the discussion will be for these veterans to share the lessons and values they have learned during their years of service and how they apply these ideas to their lives in retirement.

“The event builds on the remarkable military and police careers of our speakers whose service at home and overseas encompasses conflicts/peacekeeping in Kosovo, Aleppo, Israel, N. Ireland and elsewhere,” states an event summary from the library.
