This new exhibition provides a rare and candid look at the realities faced by Canadaā€™s Reserve soldiers when serving abroad. It revolves around a feature-length documentary film made by Colonel Michael Vernon (Retired) including interviews with troops and operational footage.

Seen alongside weapons and artefacts from the frontlines, augmented with stories of service and sacrifice, the exhibits offer an insiderā€™s perspective on how deployed Reserve Forces fulfill the same duties as Regular Forces.
