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 Co-operative Education Program (BU Co-op) continues to demonstrate its impact, with 42 out of 48 participating students already having secured summer employment in 2025.

The national honour recognizes her innovative and impactful approach to engaging students with primary sources in historical studies.
