About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Thanh Campbell was the 32nd Vietnamese orphan loaded onto a Canadian Forces plane on April 12, 1975. Beside him, there were 56 other babies who would become possibly the last infants flown from the country as part of Operation Babylift, an effort to save lives before Saigon fell. Thanh's story is told in Orphan 32, and he joins us to bring that story to life, including the twists once he started trying to find others from that flight. Join Thanh for an unforgettable afternoon, part of the For the Love of Reading all-day event, presented by West Grey Library.
