The Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum (CATPM) and Brandon University’s Public History Program are proud to announce a new collaboration that will shine a spotlight on the overlooked contributions of women in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War.

The project, titled Stories from the Women’s Division, is being developed by Brandon University student Seraphina Gilbert as part of their Practice of Public History class. The exhibition will be featured at Brandon’s Shopper’s Mall later this winter, where it will reach wide audiences with untold stories of women who stepped forward to serve their country.

Brandon University’s popular Mini University program is celebrating a banner year, welcoming 821 campers over the summer — 68 more than last year — and capping the season with a national contest win.

Mini U’s creative energy shone through in a short video produced by campers and staff, which was submitted to Actua’s 2025 Summer Video Contest. Out of entries from Actua network members across Canada, the Mini U submission was selected as the “Actua Staff Pick” winner.
