About the Event
Refuge Canada Tent is a small, bilingual exhibit created by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 to travel to libraries and community centres across Canada. The exhibit was designed to resemble a tent and is the same size as a typical shelter used in refugee camps today.
Refuge Canada Tent introduces people to Canada’s place in the global refugee crises. It does this in two ways: First, by helping people understand the experience of refugees and the challenges they face. Second, by investigating Canada’s historical track-record of responding to refugees, which is more mixed than people may realize.
This exhibit will be available for viewing in the Education Wing of the Yarmouth County Museum from Saturday, April 23-Thursday, June 23. Free admission to the Museum for the months of April and May (hours, 2pm-5pm)
Refuge Canada Tent is a travelling exhibit created by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 and is supported by TD Bank Group.
