Passages to Canada Reception

Passages to Canada is a story telling initiative where people who immigrated or came as refugees speak to students and community groups about their experiences using an anti-racism framework. They are expanding into Mississauga and Brampton.

Passages to Canada: Dismantling Racism is coming to Brampton and Mississauga!

Passages to Canada is one of the Historica-Dominion Institute’s flagship educational programs. Since 2002, more than 100,000 students and New Canadians across the country have heard the inspiring personal stories of immigration from some of Canada's most successful immigrants. Through Passages to Canada, you will hear how it feels to leave one's homeland and to arrive in a new and strange place; how it feels to encounter racism and misunderstandings about one's culture; how it feels to try to fit in, to learn a new language and to have to start over; how it feels to realize that you have indeed found a new home in Canada. The Dismantling Racism initiative is new to the Passages to Canada project.
