Society Saturday - UELAC

The UELAC -  United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada  

Everyone has heard about the DAR and SAR, well, the UELAC is the equivalent of those societies, the only difference is that the UELAC recognizes the Loyalist ancestors who fought in he Revolutionary War, not the Patriots, and we're co-ed too.

The UELAC is involved in educating the public, not just Canadians, about the importance of the United Empire Loyalists and their influence in defining and shaping our country.

I don't know how important many people think the War of 1812 was in the development of Canadian Identity but the Loyalists fought and died in that war as well. It defined our county's borders and was the last war fought on Canadian soil. It is important to the UELAC.
 and there are several events in the next few years that the UELAC and other organizations have planned. You can check them out at Events Central. There's a link on the left
to the wiki calendar. Any organization planning events to commemmorate the Bicentennial of the
War of 1812 is welcomed and encouraged to post their event on the calendar.

The Conference at the Confluence, hosted by the Manitoba branch of the UELAC is coming up June 7 - 10, 2012.
Check that link out as well.
