The WTJHS had another engaging and informative talk at our monthly meeting on the 4th of June. We would like to thank Chris Rutty for an excellent talk on the story of Connie Beattie and her story of treating Polio victims in the Chesterfield Inlet in 1949. If you were not able to make the meeting, or would like to watch again, below is a link to the recording of the meeting.
