After weeks of studying and research, the PLP Grade 10 Cohort has written and produced a 17 episode podcast series investigating "What is the legacy of WWII in Canada?". Have a listen to the unedited interviews at the end of the playlist as well!

The Legacy of WWII Podcast

In the Performance Learning Program, we’ve spent weeks investigating and researching the legacy of the Second World War in Canada. In this podcast we listen to my great grandfather Philip Whitz talk about his experiences running from WWI, and listen to a passage from Bob Porter’s personal journal describing his time abord the HMCS Barrie in WW2. I hope you enjoy.

Ep. 1 Philip Whitz and Bob Porter

In this episode I talk about the role of the Canadian Navy in WWII and its role now, along with an interview with Svend Hansen who worked as a coder in WWII.

Ep.4 Svend Hansen

When Britian was faced with invasion during the dark time that was WW2, Canadians such as Navy Coder Svend Hansen went oversees in hopes of providing support. Listen to the full story here with exclusive interview clips from Svend himself, as he reveals the incredible truth about the Royal Canadian Navy’s role in the war.
