Since Confederation in 1867, more than 17 million newcomers have made their home in Canada.
Destination Canada, the upcoming show at the Toronto Reference Library TD Gallery (May 20-July 30), looks at experiences of migration through personal stories and individual circumstances. Why did they choose Canada? What were their first impressions and early experiences? What challenges did they face in starting a new life? What does it mean to become "Canadian"? Discover the stories of newcomers throughout our history through posters, photographs, written accounts and other materials from Toronto Public Library's Baldwin Collection of Canadiana and Chinese Canadian Archive. The exhibit also features personal mementos from storytellers with Passages Canada.
