1812 event at Shoppers World Brampton, March 31

Visual Arts Brampton youth students and select adult artists will be drawing from War of 1812 reenactors. Adult member artists from the group are also invited to come and create.

The event will be at Shoppers World Brampton, in Centre Court, on March 31 from 1 to 5 pm. (Appropriately, Centre Court is also home to Laura Secord.)

The  reenactors at the event are being organized by Richard Feltoe, the curator and corporate archivist for Redpath Sugar Limited and is active as a living history reenactor, re-creating the life of a Canadian militia soldier from the War of 1812. His latest book, Redcoated Ploughboys: The Volunteer Battalion of Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada, 1813-1815, will be released in March.
