Smith, Doug

Doug Smith  served in the Canadian Forces during the Cold War era, and as such he participated in a number of peacekeeping missions from the period. Most notably Doug was deployed in the Suez in the late 50s, during the period of Nasser’s presidency. As such Doug followed the actions of the initial UN peacekeeping force, helping to consolidate Canada’s role in this area.  Doug did this interview with Scott Masters in the summer of 2015, where he discussed the context and the difficulties associated with the UN peacekeeping process; the interview took place at the Legion Branch 11, courtesy of Helen Pearce.  The interview was developed by the Grade 9 Tech classes during the 2015-16 school year.
