Friends of the Library will hold their AGM on March 24 at 2:00 pm in the Tallman Room of the North Grenville Public Library. Victor Suthren will be the guest speaker.
Following Victor’s career in public service, and his retirement as Director General of the Canadian War Museum in 1998, he was appointed Honorary Captain in the Canadian Navy and sailed extensively on many ships, including the replica of Captain Cook’s ship Endeavour, several tall ships, and the Bluenose 2. He is the author of several non-fiction novels, including a biography of Captain James Cook, and The Island of Canada: How Three Oceans Shaped our Nation. He has also written many works of fiction: the Paul Gallant Saga Series, and the Mainwaring Series. Due to his vast experience as a traditional sailor on tall ships, he has been an advisor on maritime and historical film and television productions.
Please join us for Victor’s fascinating presentation. Refreshments will be served after Victor’s talk. Following that, a short business meeting will take place.
