This project was initiated by the Pier 21 Museum of Immigration in Halifax. For three days in March, 2013, a dedicated group of twelve Guelph residents came together to create a series of digital stories. These stories are part of a much larger pan Canadian project. In the space of four months, Pier 21 facilitators travelled across Canada to work with communities. These stories have at their core the experience of immigrating to Canada, but each story is unique and together they catalog intensely personal journeys of growth, common experiences of leaving behind loved ones, being stateless, struggling to find home and forging new identities.
