He graciously acquiesced to the Speakers Bureau’s request to speak to us again, this time about how things have changed since his 2012 book The Secret of the Crown: Canada’s Affair with Royalty.Whiffers, family and friends will enjoy another thought provoking talk by a great Canadian journalist.
The meeting will be held at the Royal Canadian Military Institute, 426 University Ave. Unfortunately as our tech gurus are both travelling, there won’t be a Whiff@Home option for this meeting.
Join fellow Whiffers on Tuesday, February 28th The reception at the RCMI begins at 6:00 pm.
