| 'Lost Liberties — The War Measures Act' Exhibition |
|
February 11th to April 21st 2023
Admission by donation
A travelling exhibition developed by the Canadian Museum of History:
What happens when personal freedoms come into conflict with national security? Exploring the suspension of civil liberties in Canada during the First World War, the Second World War, and the 1970 October Crisis, Lost Liberties — The War Measures Act sheds new light on the enduring impact of the Act on Canada and its people. The travelling exhibition examines the internment of Canadians of Ukrainian origin and other nationalities during the First World War, the internment of Italian Canadians and the internment and forced relocation of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War, and the arrest of hundreds of people in Quebec during the 1970 October Crisis. Lost Liberties probes the crises that drove these tragic events, and features poignant first-hand accounts from the men, women and children who lived through them.
Funded in part by the Government of Canada
