The RCRM Speakers Series is a program launched by The Royal Canadian Regiment Museum in early 2020. The goal of the program is to engage with patrons by means of academic research across the country. Scholars of history or history buffs, well-known authors or museum curators were invited for a talk of their choice. For the inaugural year, two anniversaries are in focus: 120 years since the Battle of Paardeberg, during the South African War and the 75th anniversary from the end of the Second World War. The monthly talks were recorded live. Guest speakers accompanied their talks with images, moving or still; voice overs were added to clarify the use of support material as necessary. When it was possible, the Question(s) and Answer(s) at the end of the presentation are included. The COVID-19 pandemic was declared only two weeks before the third event, which forced us into a different approach. The third event of the series was cancelled, but the program continued in April 2020 as an audiovisual production streamed live on the museum YouTube channel. Program Director Mark Vogelsang from the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology recorded the public events.

A Cenotaph for the Community: How Londoners Have Remembered the First World War
Season 1, Episode 10 In the years following the First World War the citizens of London, Ontario raised local memorials to honour the generation who served in the war.

"You, Sir Frederick, Will be Chairman: Military Research and the NRC (1937-1941)"
Season 1, Episode 8 One hundred years after the discovery of the insulin, Sir Frederick Banting continues to be remembered from the perspective of a singular moment in time, the image of himself with Charles Best and a dog on the rooftop of the University of Toronto Medical School. But, like any other story, that representation is neither the beginning, nor the end of his contributions to Canadian science and innovation. For episode 8 of the RCRM Speakers Series, Grant Maltman will introduce the other facets of the complex personality that was Sir Frederick Banting. Grant Maltman, Curator of Banting House National Historic Site of Canada, is a graduate from The University of Western Ontario with more than 30-year experience in the cultural resource management and heritage presentation field. His journey started at the local Banting Secondary School when, as a student, he presented the Canadian Diabetes Association with a cheque from the student body for the development of the Banting House Museum. Ten years later he became the museum's first paid employee and has served as the curator of Banting House National Historic Site of Canada for the last 28 years.
