www.ns.legion.ca 37 as the prime consultant with BRC Imagination Arts as the interpretive planner. The story of the Battle of the Atlantic will be told using the most modern techniques of interpretive narration to achieve an enjoyable educational experience. The showmanship used, however, will not change the stories. The educational content will be of the highest quality, with the foremost naval historians in Canada engaged to advise. Visitors will be guided through seven thematic spaces. Each will use a particular film, simulation or other immersive means to convey the circumstances of the country and the world at the outset of the war and how the Battle of the Atlantic evolved at tactical and strategic levels. Live simulation will allow visitors to experience enemy engagement on the bridge of a Corvette, the cockpit of a Canso aircraft and even the control room of a U-boat. The last thematic space will convey the legacy of the Battle of the Atlantic to Canada and how the Country had come of age in economic, social and political terms. The gallery will house HMCS Sackville, the last Corvette (an escort convoy ship), and a Canso aircraft, both of which represent the most important factors in the Battle of the Atlantic. Before departing the complex visitors will pass through a memorial space that will pay homage to the almost five thousand Canadians who gave their lives in the Battle of the Atlantic and have no known grave. Canadians are largely unaware of the legacy of the Battle of the Atlantic and the extraordinary achievements of so many ordinary Canadians, almost five thousand of whom gave their lives in the struggle. Let us not forget the sacrifice of that great generation of Canadians that did so much to build the Canada we enjoy today. It is important that future generations know of the deeds that shaped the character of our nation.
