Featured Speaker

The St. Andrew’s Society is pleased to welcome the Commanding Officer of the 48th Highlanders of Canada as our featured speaker. After completing his studies at the Royal Military College of Canada, LCol Tyler Wentzell served with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. He was then deployed as the Reconnaissance Company mentor with the Afghan National Army.

LCol Wentzell joined the 48th Highlanders in 2011 and has served in a variety of positions and domestic deployments. He is a historian and will be speaking about the 48th Highlanders involvement in the Liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two. This will include the unit's commemorative activities for the eightieth anniversary of the Liberation in early May of this year.

LCol Wentzell is pictured in the photo below with the painting of Lieutenant Colonel Donald Alexander Mackenzie. Mackenzie was the commanding officer of the 48th Highlanders of Canada in Italy and the Netherlands. He was killed during Operation Cannonshot during the Liberation of the Netherlands on the path to Apeldoorn, hence the windmill in the background of the painting.

We look forward to seeing you on June 20th. Get your ticket today!
