Immigration Nation
Learn about past and present immigration policies while discovering the history of Vancouver through the decades: 1900 - 1970s. Modelled after the points-based-system, explore the History Galleries through a scavenger hunt activity and examine suitcases from four immigrants’ stories. This program focuses on who immigrates and why, the quality of life for new immigrants over the decades, and immigrants’ contributions to Vancouver.
Make a day of it! Combine this program with either a self-guided tour of our exhibits or a monumental scavenger hunt activity, discovering Vanier Park's outdoor monuments and art installations.
