Operation Calvados: The Documentary: Honouring the Royal Regina Rifles
Operation Calvados explores the meaning of service and remembrance through the story of the Regina Rifle Regiment. On June 6, 1944, soldiers from across Saskatchewan—representing farms, cities, towns, and Indigenous communities—landed on Juno Beach in the first wave of the D-Day invasion. Their actions played a vital role in the Allied victory, shaping both the outcome of the war and Saskatchewan’s identity. Eighty years later, the film follows a remarkable community effort to place a bronze statue near Juno Beach and see current members of the Regiment walk in the footsteps of their predecessors.
Through historical footage and interviews with veterans, active soldiers, and community members, this film invites students to see remembrance as more than a moment of reflection, but as an ongoing, shared responsibility.
