The Governors of the University of Calgary

The Military Museums (TMM) is comprised of 8 semi-independent galleries, 5 of which will work together on this exhibition. The University of Calgary by way of the Founders’ Gallery will collaborate on this exhibition with the Army Museum of Alberta, The Air Force Museum of Alberta, The Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Museum, The King’s Own Calgary Regiment Museum, The Calgary Highlanders’ Museum. Each of the museums will select personalities represented in their archival holdings whose lives represent the stories of Canadians at Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, and Passchendaele.

The University of Calgary’s role in this exhibition is two-fold:

1) to work with all of these museums to illustrate these stories with historical and contemporary art and

2) to augment the holdings of each of these museums with the stories of First Nation’s soldiers that often become subsumed in the wider narrative of Canadians in the First World War.
