Exhibit Tour: Stories of Migration and Belonging - Making Hamilton Home

Throughout its history, Hamilton has become home to hundreds of thousands of newcomers, displaced persons and refugees. This workshop invites participants into the Stories of Migration and Belonging exhibit at the Visitor Experience Centre. This exhibition provides insight into peoples’ journeys to Hamilton and showcases the diversity of contemporary immigration. Participants will have the opportunity to walk through the exhibit, hear migration stories through a video presentation, and have a conversation about the ways migration continues to shape Hamilton. The hour will close with time for collective reflection on migration and belonging.
