Refuge Canada Tent

Event graphic for the Refuge Canada Tent exhibit.

Refuge Canada Tent introduces people to Canada’s place in the global refugee crises and strives to help people understand the experience of refugees and the challenges they face. The exhibition also investigates Canada’s historical track-record of responding to refugees.

The refugee experience is important to explore as a part of Canada’s immigration history, and to show that Canada has had a mixed record in welcoming refugees. Refuge Canada Tent looks at injustices and challenges as well as the stories of success and contributions made by people who came to Canada as refugees.

This exhibit was adapted from the larger exhibition, Refuge Canada, which is currently travelling to museums across Canada. You can find information on the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21’s website about their travelling exhibitions program.

Multiple day event Mar 2 - Mar 29, 2023
